It's been said, but truly the best option for you will be a GoPro. The newest Hero 9 has a front facing screen so you will be able to see yourself when you tell go pro to take your picture.
That's not how I use it though. I set my gopro to video mode and using the GoPro software on my phone, I grab screen captures (photos) from the video. That way you always get the image you want when the fish flops around and you also get some action shots as you reel it in and release it. It also cuts down on handling time - land the fish, point it at the camera, smile and hold 2-3 seconds and then its back in the water. No messing with buttons or settings while the fish is out of the water. You do need a decent phone, but my iphone 7 is old and does the trick.
Joby makes tripods that have flexible legs that you can use to wrap around trees, thwarts or whatever is around you. Either the Joby or the Gopro Jaws Flex Clamp is what I would suggest.
Also, GoPro is waterproof. Trust me - you want that!
All the images in this post were taken with my GoPro:
