>>1174873that one is a little more debatable on handling, it looks like you're supporting the body enough. but yeah, the reason you don't want to do it is because it can damage the fish's jaw and from there is might recover, it might get a secondary infection, it might just starve, who knows. but i do sincerely appreciate you being cool about it, i have run in to a lot of people who when you try to let them know that they are handling a fish poorly get deeply offended on a personal level, and it's like "dude we're both here for the fish, why are you so opposed to doing your best to take care of them?" and then they're like "i dont know, why are you such a prick?" and you're just there like . . .
