Zhang Yang, finished with weighing, looked a bit bedraggled from the slime the fish had flung during its struggle. But he was in such a good mood that he hardly cared if his clothes were dirty, his spirits were high, so he simply cradled the fish sideways against his chest.

"I want a photo too!"
"Take one of me too!"
"Me as well!"
Yoyo was the first to start the fuss, and then the crowd began clamoring eagerly to have photos taken with the big fish, keeping busy for a good ten minutes before it all settled down.
