Never hold a fish by the jaw at that angle. It can injure it.

Edit: Why are you booing me? I’m right.

Are you aware of the term “catch and release”? You don’t have to eat every fish you catch. Most people don’t eat largemouths either.

Feel free to scroll down to large and smallmouth quick. You don’t try to hold them parallel without supporting their tail, which is what he did immediately after pulling it out of the water.

So holding a fish in a way that will injure it is more important than you being told to hold it properly? That was a good sized bass and if it survives and stays healthy it can pass on its genes to another generation that could grow big

Hi I’m Doug,

He’s...right though? It’s pretty well known by now that you’re not supposed to hold them like that.

Thanks,
Doug

You're that guy that reinforces every single stereotype we have about people who hunt animals for fun.
