Weak radiative baryonic B decays $\bar B\to B_1\bar B_2\gamma$ mediated by the electromagnetic penguin process $b\to s\gamma$ are re-examined within the framework of the pole model. The meson pole contribution that has been neglected before is taken into account in this work. It is found that the intermediate $K^*$ contribution dominates in the $\Sigma\bar p\gamma$ mode and is comparable to the baryon pole effect in $\Lambda\bar p\gamma$ and $\Xi\bar\Lambda\gamma$ modes. The branching ratios for $B^-\to\Lambda\bar p\gamma$ and $B^-\to\Xi^0\bar\Sigma^-\gamma$ are of order $2.6\times 10^{-6}$ and $6\times 10^{-7}$, respectively. The threshold enhancement effect in the dibaryon mass spectrum is responsible by the meson pole diagram. We also study the angular distribution of the baryon in the dibaryon rest frame. The baryon pole diagrams imply that the antibaryon tends to emerge in the direction of the photon in the baryon-pair rest frame. The predicted angular asymmetry agrees with experiment for $B^-\to\Lambda\bar p\gamma$. Measurements of the correlation of the photon with the baryon allow us to discriminate between different models for describing the radiative baryonic B decays. For decays $B\to\Xi\bar\Sigma\gamma$, a large correlation of the photon to the $\bar\Sigma$ and a broad bump in the dibaryon mass spectrum are predicted.
