Huh, I always figured it's because it's one of the masculine-conforming reasons to have a friend take a nice photo of just one guy. Single guys with plenty of friends go out and do stuff together, but you don't take well-lit, posed photos by yourself normally. You might take a group shot, but then you risk looking small or ugly next to a more attractive friend. A posed photo of a guy by himself looking good is going to look like it was taken by a significant other.
It also says "I like to fish, and when we are in a relationship, I expect to continue to go fishing with my friends."

I don't get it
Men on dating apps known for posing with fish. This long running web comic with swords. Thus sword fish gag :)
What, why? Is this some fad?
enough of a thing to have articles on it. Though I'd guess it's an American thing.

Ah, appealing to the "i can feed you" instincts.
Thank you. I've never used a dating app and I was very confused.
Take care out there, flying squid. You're the ultimate catch for a fish guy's tinder profile.
I don't know that my wife would be into me looking for fishermen on Tinder. I don't even think she'd be up for me looking for them on Grindr.
I bet the dating profiles actually belong to the fish, and the numbers are their length
Plenty of fish
I know it's a long shot but if there are any women reading this can you confirm the guys holding fish in dating app photos thing is real?
Swords is one of the rare things I miss from Reddit.
I check regularly from the creator website instead, which is great with references to its own lore, link here
Even better I'm starting to build my RSS feeds up.
