I zoom out of the photo and take a ss and crop it to size that’s why my photos are some time slanted or have a border of white around some

Mines just the image resizer for Windows I Googled it, quite a simple set up can downsize as many photos as you want in one go..

Most pics are on my phone these days, so trying to resize it is a bit fiddly.
previously it was just find the pic and upload. now its either snapshot (which is sometimes still too big) or upload to Facebook, then re download again then upload to FV.
i end up having wayy too many files of the same photo so ive just about given up for now

Get a hard drive and start putting your photos and videos onto it. Frees up space on your phone and you'll be able to plug the hard drive into your computer for easy access to the photos and videos if you want to upload. I find when i just keep photos on my phone, once i get a new phone those photos are never seen again..

There’s less bull on instagram than on Facebook and lots of good fishing content but with all social media it has its downside it seems on insta every second angler is looking for sponsorship etc.

Have heard of one wannabe semi sponsored fisho take shots of fish changing the hooks over to lures so he can spam sponsor content that’s just fake.

Happens a lot more than you think. Either on bait or competitors lures and then change lure to suit sponsors.
