With regards to the tagging license requiring you to use heavier gear does it also require you to take pictures posing with the fish keeping out of the water even longer and running the risk of it falling?

Well it is good that you are actually thinking of the fish. I know you do not intend to hurt the fish, but in all actuality you are. Lactic acid builds up with a long fight. The fish also needs energy to recover after it is released.
You are correct about how a falling fish or thrashing around on the rocks will/could be fatal. That is why you should keep her in the water as much as you can....not attached to a fishing line.
