Those do have their place, particularly as backup evidence that the presenters methods work, but pictures/videos clips (!) illustrating the topic I feel are more effective. That way people can see exactly what it is that is being discussed.
That said, I think a striking picture would be of a schoolie or just keeper sized fish right next to a slob. This could really bring home to people the difference between what most people catch on regular basis vs. a 40/50 pounder.
Good luck with all your presentatiosn this winter. I know you will do well!
This is exactly what I would say. I do not need to see repetitive pictures of fish - the best seminars I have been to lead you to be a better fisherman, not reinforce that the speaker can catch fish.
