That's the way my older-"big" brother who has bigger hands told me to do it. I remember getting pierced by their fins on a Blue-gill. And once they were flailing so much the hook got pierced on my hand. Fishing sucks, but fun with your big brother. I don't even like to eat fish.

[@charlitoguzman6414]

I've only been finned by bluegill my entire life. Out of all the fish I have caught in my entire life,"which is thousands of fish" the small bluegill has got me 3 or 4 times. They are so small and jump around like crazy,which makes them more difficult to take off the hook.

[@scceeeeetv9329]

Same. Those fish use to cut me up badly as a kid

[@PS2Fishiki]

Hey atleast its not a bullhead catfish

[@cnmrosko]

You should have included catfish since they have very sharp spikes on the pectoral and dorsal fins that can cause much worse injury than other fresh water fish.

[@DarthMackzodroginstomp]

These are all the right ways to handle fish, but I'd like to point out that beginning fishers may want to use a pair of simple work gloves to feel safer handling fish (preferably a durable thermoplastic type).

[@BigBoFromBtown]

This lol. I just use gloves cuz I don’t like the feeling of fish on my hands but I love catching them haha

[@PlasticRocket2]

Gloves will remove the slime coat off a fish and if you release it, fish might be in trouble. Best method is a wet hand and these techniques.

[@topbrasstv8867]

You should show how to hold Pike or walleye. When I first caught a pike I had to have my cousin hold his body and tail while I held his bottom jaw open with pliers and used another pair of pliers to grab the hook. I'm a bit more experienced in handling teeth now but it's usually intimidating to first timers.

Great video dude! , you were mostly right about the trout but the one danger you missed is they have sharp teeth . however when I was writing this comment I haddent watched the whole episode.

[@Greenliight]

A nice tip on lipping bass is to hold them more straight up and down if you hold them a little sideways like in the video it can tear the delicate tissue around their mouth! Just a tip

Was looking for this comment, thank you. Especially with bigger ones, I feel like it could strain/break their jaw!

[@bradyzale5830]

Why were you fishing if you weren’t planning on catching the fish?

[@ladyscarfaceangel4616]

To do my best & try to learn. I’ll admit I was just scared of handling the fish, & at that time I had no one to teach me. I was with my best friend & her son. She wanted to take him fishing, & she didn’t know much either. I’m happy to report I did catch several small fish last weekend though! After my sister’s husband showed me what to do, he didn’t help me after that b/c I wanted to learn & needed practice. I’m still skittish handling fish but getting better the more I do it. Going again tomorrow & I’m excited! I’m hooked on fishing! Pun intended! 😂

Don't forget to pay them because you can't have a hobby or teach your kids to fish without giving them money. $$$$

[@lxAngelsJourneyxl]

Sir, what about handling LARGE tilapia or bluegils?? I'm talking 12+ inches, I try to handle them the way you mentioned it in the video but they still manage to slip away because of their large size, and often times they poke me with their fins even while using GLOVES!! Please let me know as soon as you can, I usually catch these guys on a daily basis and could really use a better method of handling these guys ASAP.

[@z3roo0]

Biggest fear is that it will be stuck far inside the fish's mouth. I remember fishing as a kid once and I couldn't get the hook out because so far in. I ended pulling out entrails of the fish. I was traumatized after that and stopped fishing all together. There is one thing to eat a fish for food (humanely kill it quick and painless). There is another to brutally murder a fish just to take out a hook.

[@cameron6707]

yeah, ive been there also sadly

[@ななみちあき-z9f]

It you’re keeping it to cool definitely keep it hooked when you kill it then remove when it’s dead

[@z3roo0]

Yeah, I guess killing it instead of leaving the hook (which will slowly kill it) is the probably the best way, worst case scenario.

[@ななみちあき-z9f]

@@z3roo0 If you’re going to cook use the Ikejime, it’s best for you and fish. It’s from japan 🇯🇵

I will keep it in mind next time I decide to go fishing. Thank for the tip, friend.

[@StoneE4]

*_Expecially like yat._*

[@llllmayhemllll23]

So first what you’re going to want to do is get yourself some giant hands. Yup that’s right, get yourself a nice giant pair of hands, because when you go to handle these fish, they might not be as small as these these man’s hands make them look. Bye gollie oh gee are these hands some hands.

Any tips for people like me who never touch a fish even the death fish? When I do want to touch it, it feel like some tingling feeling I don't know the word for it and in the end it will make me don't want to touch it.

[@nathansimpson5721]

Use gloves. I have a fear of touching fish but when I put gloves on I can do it easily.

[@K970i]

@@nathansimpson5721 thank you for the tip! Still haven't got the chance to try touch the fish with glove yet but I almost can try to touch fish using a piece of cloth and when the fish is struggle that is where I got scare 😂. Also the fish I tried to touch was catfish, should have try on a little fish but oh well. I'll try it somewhere in the future.

remember to always wet your hands when handling trout and let them go by setting them in the water, they’re extremely sensitive

[@peadookie]

Great video! Exactly what I was looking for and to the point! Thanks!

[@ytube777]

why not with a dry hand?

[@TheOhioDNR]

During catch and release, use wet hands to reduce the risk of rubbing too much of the slime layer off. Adversely, when touched with dry hands, the natural coating is likely to rub off the fish leaving them exposed disease.

[@lt0295]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but shouldn’t you hold a trout in the water and move water over it’s gills to allow it to stabilize before releasing it, so it doesn’t sink and suffocate?

[@TalanyiTVXD]

Logan Thomas yeah you are right

[@TheGolem105]

I find bluegills tricky to hold without getting stung

[@minymunch531]

[@cristiandiaz1832]

But I love fishing rip to that one fish in Oceanside I couldn’t handle

[@ShastaBean]

Much wrong here if you are going to release them. They shouldn't be put on a surface like a dock or shore. They shouldn't be handled and removing their disease protective slime (especially with dry hands). They shouldn't be held vertically out of the water. They shouldn't be pulled from the water (especially as long as it is for taking the pictures & poses, and in this case a lecture). See the Ferguson Tufts fish release study. These fish may wag their tail gently as if they are going to be ok, but the study shows their chances of surviving this event is going way, way down. Our lungs can't do carbon/oxygen exchange when someone holds our face under water. Fish have the same problem when their gills are out of the water. Especially when they've been exhausted. The lactic acid build up alone just from the fight can cause them to die, as long as 72 hours after.
