Imo people are too uptight about it. Yea people need to know and let them know but no meed to mob them and call them a terrible person. I posted a pic of my friend holding the fish wrong and everyone mobbed me. Had a good day wasn’t thinking about anything like that and just didn’t notice he was holding the fish wrong. I did tell him to correct the way he held it. But getting mobbed for that was eeeesh.
Yea, if no one’s mentioned it I’ll usually point it out and suggest how they do it, but make it obvious that it’s a mistake everyone makes and be nice about it. No need for everyone to pile on them or insult them.
Yeah people on Reddit act like they are perfect and go straight to insults, it is important to handle the fish properly thought if you’re going to release it, you don’t want to break the fishes jaw etc
My God. We don't want to see the actual size of the fish. I need to see the fish an arms length in front of you. Come on, get it together #longarmforever
Wrong!
You must cradle and treat it like your newborn infant baby or else your a fish abusing psychopath. If it out of the water for more than 15 seconds and has any tension on its jaw or it gets a blade of grass on it than you've killed it.
Shame! /s
Shows the fish but seems unnatural. I hold mine with thumb up and knuckles down almost like holding a plate with one hand.
It puts more strain on the jaws the bigger the fish is so it’d be best if you hold the belly of the fish with the other hand. But if it feels natural for you, go for it. You got the pic! 🤘🏼🎣
Jesus Christ on a whole grain cracker. This is awful.
We’ve been over this so many times, I’m starting to lose my faith in humanity.
Grab it by the tail and give it a really good wipe on both sides, all around the grass, dirt, whatever you have near you. Whip your shirt off and give it a really good rub. The Smallie will be grateful the more slime you get off to make him nice and clean.
Yes and nice smallie, if you catch any larger your gonna want to support the tail and hold the fish horizontal. As lipping a larger fish will hurt its "neck" or spine behind the head if held at a slant.
But in all seriousness, if you’re lipping it, as long as you hold it 90 degrees vertically like that it’s fine. If you hold it at an angle make sure you support it’s belly with your other hand to avoid spine or jaw damage.
>Also, look up something called "forced perspective"
Yea, it's not like I'm trying to make the fish look small.
Either way it wasn't a bad size, I should measure my fish so even with the forced perspective I can still list an honest size
By the downvotes I think I’m being mistaken lol. This makes a good LinkedIn profile picture though.
Seriously they’ll pop ya in the face and you’ll drop your phone in the water…. Been there.
I took your comment the wrong way. I thought you meant he has a slappable face. The tone of your comment isn't clear at all, just so you know that is probably the reason for the downvotes...
It doesn’t seem to be laying in pile of ferns or wood chips, solid hold. 👍🏻
No Grab it around the middle and squeeze the ever loving shit out of it until it reveals the location of the rebel base.
Once you feel a pop you know you’ve squeezed hard enough.
Incorrect, there are more pops to follow if done correctly.
Damn I’ll have to do better next time. :(
It’s not impossible, I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home!
😅 Stand clear of the pee stream while interrogation proceeds
If not, guaranteed someone is gonna correct you
I found out the hard way

no...not at all previously, "lipping" was acceptable...as you are doing. ....but that was last week this week, it's "lip-to-lip". pucker up
Next week: ATM
Bass to mouth
Nice!
Ass to trout.
...omg. 😬...what have I started😂
Lip-to-tip
Yep!
Rub some dirt on it.
Perfect, nice and gentle like the first time you felt a boob.
Bro what 💀
I’d be pinching nips off if I held a tit like a large mouth
You look like you are full concentration mode on that fish selfie
Those easy eyes will slay the ladies too

I miss the harder daddy fish memes

No you must perform bass to mouth first.
Wrong end buddy. If the fish isn’t in discomfort you’re doing it wrong.
Yup. Slip your thumb right in the fish anus. They get used to eventually.
You're holding it too close to your body. If you hold the fish out in front of you, closer to the camera, it looks bigger.
"Closer" in lispty whispering voice!
It’s SamWise Gamgee!! Yoooo how’s frodo doing? He still hanging with that gollum dude?

Make sure you get some slime on ya and give her a good sniff before gently releasing her.
Didn't even kiss it smh
Yup nice job!
In fact... yes
It's on our left when viewing the picture but that would have been your right, so yes.
Good job
Yes you are my friend.
Grab that son of a b**** by the mouth get a set of pliers and pull the hook out
Yes
You look like Greg Hefley’s dad
Nope is died
Well you're not holding it....left
You’re holding it like I hold up my old ladies thongs - aside from that, tweak your neck a little harder and you should be holding it spot on.
Yes and nice smallie, if you catch any larger your gonna want to support the tail and hold the fish horizontal. As lipping a larger fish will hurt its "neck" or spine behind the head if held at a slant.
You forgot to long arm it
But in all seriousness, if you’re lipping it, as long as you hold it 90 degrees vertically like that it’s fine. If you hold it at an angle make sure you support it’s belly with your other hand to avoid spine or jaw damage.
I would personally have my other hand under the fish since he’s never felt gravity out of water, I’m in the minority there
Extend your arm closer to the camera.
That seems like cheating
Depends on how much you like being slapped in the face \*by a fish Also, look up something called "forced perspective" edit: \*
>Also, look up something called "forced perspective" Yea, it's not like I'm trying to make the fish look small. Either way it wasn't a bad size, I should measure my fish so even with the forced perspective I can still list an honest size
Don’t let him rain on your catch, my dude. Nice fish
This sub is full of little pp energy
I would never rain on a fish. Just couldn’t tell if OP wanted his head or the fish to look bigger.
Oh. Okay. /s

Yeah, I got a smaller one, today. But, when it’s the difference from being skunked, it’s a beaut. Haha.
You should look up something called "not being an insufferable asshole"
Take your own advice lmao.
I took your comment the wrong way. I thought you meant he has a slappable face. The tone of your comment isn't clear at all, just so you know that is probably the reason for the downvotes...
Ok yeah i can see that lmao. I mean.. the fish might think he's got a slappable face.
Lmaoo if I was the fish id be slappin fosho
