A brief tutorial on how to hold a fish...
Yvette demonstrates the "lip-grip". Only recommended for relatively small fish.
Connor is a master of the "Maybe you should hold it" technique. I've tried this one myself with limited success.
"Let's just leave it on the hook" - also only recommended for small fish.
Jeff illustrates the proper technique for displaying a fine catch.
And looks on with a mix of amusement and horror as I somehow manage to botch it.This would be one of the times when the "Maybe you should hold it" failed for me.
Let's have that demo one more time...
Better, but my technique still needs some work.
Joe shows off the "I am too sexy for this fish" pose. Not everyone can make this work!
The "Ok, who's going to clean this?" hold. Essentially a variation of "Maybe you should hold it".
The two-hander. Reserved for the best catches.
A close-up of the same fish. It really was a beauty.
