I personally don't see much value to a presentation of posed picks of guys holding dead fish. Doesn't really teach anything and does relatively little to grab the viewer. However, a presentation needs graphics to keep the attention of the audience.
Pics that include the fish and the habitat, like someone sliding a bass up to a rock, or dragging a fish out of the white water of the wash, can really enhance a presentation. Also, if the talk is on technique fishing eels, bunker, plugs, etc. it is cool to see the fish getting landed with the bait in its jaw.
Overall, I think like any photo, the more depth there is in the pic, the more value it has to the talk and the more compelling it can be to the audience.
A pic of a guy in a parking lot holding a fish has little artistic value to begin with and has less inherent value to the overall visual quality of the presentation. Each pic during the presentation should have a particular purpose. As an aside, I think if there is a slide show at the end of the presentation or something it doesn't matter so much.
