Awesome video!! I am a totally new fisherman and am intimidated about how to hold a fish to unhook them and, after watching your video, I feel A LOT more confident!! Thank you so much and God bless! :-)
Appreciate the information. Caught my first largemouth on the Colorado River here in Parker AZ. The dorsal finn got me a little bit. So I thought i would get better instruction. Thank you for the vid
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).
Thank you so much!! I am 12 and not used to handling fish as u am fishing this helped me a lot since I'm going on an all day fishing trip to Lake Anna VA tomorrow
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.
@Tactical_blasters 139 Heh. This is why I panfish with 8lbs mono and a 8lbs fluorocarbon leader: there's always some jerk, like a bass or catfish, waiting to steal your favorite lure and sacrifice it to whatever dark gods they worship. ;P
@Tactical_blasters 139 Good to hear. I'm a big fan of the perch family, and landing a a respectable walleye on #4 is the mark of a good angler, at least IMO. That, and it will test how well you tied your knots. :P
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.
I’m looking at this because I’m too scared to hold a fish because I don’t like how they like wiggle around and it feels so uncomfortable in my hand and it scared I don’t know why, Im just scared of holding a fish.. 😔
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.
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
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.
I’m so silly, I was purposely pulling my line out of the water when I seen fish going after my bait just b/c I wasn’t sure how to take them off the hook! 🤦♀️ 😂 I’ll study this video & try again this week. Thanks for the tutorial!
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! 😂
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?
Nice video, just a heads up on bending their mouth can dislocate their mouth and when you release them they probably will have trouble closing their mouths and eventually decease.
late reply but yeah if you care about the fish and want other people to catch it its best to wet your hands so you don't rub off the slime coat Their slime coat is the first layer of defense for infections of all kinds much like our skin is If you're netting them in make sure your net is wet as well (which is usually always is if you're getting the fish out of water)
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 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.
Generally, it depends on the species of fish and water temperatures. Sensitive species (i.e. trout) don’t handle air exposure as well as hardier species (i.e. catfishes). Air exposure is least detrimental to all fishes when water temperatures are cool (fish can be out of the water longer) but even short term air exposure (60 seconds) can result in significant mortality when water temperatures are warm. The general rule for handling fish is to keep them in water as much as you can (keep the fish in the water when removing the hook for example) and minimize air exposure as much as possible (take 1 picture instead of 5) if you’re planning on releasing a fish.
They dont have scales like normal fish that you would think of. Their scales are very small and smooth the body of the fish almost feels like skin instead of scaly. trout are very sensitive to begin with and when you handle them with dry hands it removes the protective slime off of their body and makes them much more susceptible to death even after release. its good practice to just make sure your hands are wet/ damp before grabbing any trout.
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.
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.

Glad it helped!
These fish must be wondering
“The hell why am I being used in a tutorial”
Imagine a minecraft villager thinking that while it's sharing a 1 m2 with 2 other villagers in the middle of the air xD(Iron farm)
Better than being used in a meal lol
@@DG-en7do their buddies ain;t gonna believe him when he said that he was being used as a tutorial, same goes for those lobster spa videos lol

This lol. I just use gloves cuz I don’t like the feeling of fish on my hands but I love catching them haha
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.
Nice video before this video when I fished, the fish would always flop and move around a lot but now its easier to handle the fish! Thanks!
Great video! Exactly what I was looking for and to the point! Thanks!
Thank you so much!! I am 12 and not used to handling fish as u am fishing this helped me a lot since I'm going on an all day fishing trip to Lake Anna VA tomorrow

Hey atleast its not a bullhead catfish
It's all fun and games until you catch a Walleye by accident and don't know how to handle it lol.
😂😂 even a decent sized bass is a bit freaky when you're just starting and only catch crappie and blugill up to that point
I'm a beginner and my grandpa said if that ever happens always have a glove and pliers in hand

People do that with salmon. Perfectly normal, considering some fish just look appetizing as heck.

What is the bait and hook that you were using in the video
Good video intro is a little long
0:37 I swear I thought he was going to just take a bite of its head
You stock striper hybrids in freshwater?
Excellent, just what I was looking for. Awesome job catching all those fish for this video.

Logan Thomas yeah you are right
I find bluegills tricky to hold without getting stung

Ok I learned how to handle one but my biggest question is how do I catch them? Haha, been getting skunked lately.
This real help me
you usually don’t want to hold them behind the gills too hard their heart is right there
How to hold a fish..
Avoid Teeth
Spines
And being smacked in the face by a tail.
@MEME BOIS ya of course they do
MEME BOIS how do u think they eat? Just swallow the fish and let it swim in their tummy????
@@christopherdraper5815 bass do yea maybe they chew w the inner teeth bluegills and trout have sharper teeth though
Im new to fishing why people hold them from their mouth with their thomb ive heard some fish bite pretty badly.
How do I get my fish to stop flipping around so I can grab it?
what about large fish? I caught a large fish and I did not know how to handle it.
Do u feel its best to get your hands wet before handling the fish for release in regards to all species??
late reply but yeah if you care about the fish and want other people to catch it its best to wet your hands so you don't rub off the slime coat
Their slime coat is the first layer of defense for infections of all kinds much like our skin is
If you're netting them in make sure your net is wet as well (which is usually always is if you're getting the fish out of water)
cool
Bro I have like this thing in my mind that blocked me from wanting to grab them lmdao idk if it’s fear or just cuz I haven’t got myself to do it yet
But I love fishing rip to that one fish in Oceanside I couldn’t handle
That last one 😭😭😭
Thanks, I just wanted to be safe.

How do you get a hook off a fish that has teeths
song in beginnibg?
I have live in Ohio my whole life and I fish all the time and I've never caught a striper do you have any suggestions of where I can catch some
Caleb Taylor anywere with colder deep water i use spoons or angle/ alabama rig with rubber grubs or rubber swimming baits
Im worried about the fish spazzing and then clipping me when I attempt to grab it
I dont know about that slode down sir. Its pretty close to my wrist. Super scary for me
Way to go Ohio, I'm calling WV dnr tell them to step up their game
dad never got a chance to teach me; thanks internet.
I always hated touching fish when i went fishing for he first time
*_Expecially like yat._*
How long can a fish be out of the water before you gotta worry about it suffocating?

It's a great way to spend time with your son. Doesn't matter if you catch fish or not.
can you hold a trout from the mouth like a Bass?
no and NEVER touch a trout with dry hands
Miles Daniels why not

yeah, ive been there also sadly
It you’re keeping it to cool definitely keep it hooked when you kill it then remove when it’s dead
Yeah, I guess killing it instead of leaving the hook (which will slowly kill it) is the probably the best way, worst case scenario.
@@z3roo0 If you’re going to cook use the Ikejime, it’s best for you and fish. It’s from japan 🇯🇵

I’m only looking at this bc every time I fish I’m afraid I’m squeezing too tight
Here because a black blue gil dorsal fined me in a California canal
3:58 sounded like a word that shrek said
The word thumb
What about catfish?
I’m an expireneced fisherman but I just haven’t in a minute and I find myself scared to pick up fish anyone else ?
I’m thinking what if I just kill the fish first and then get it out from the fish hook
What’s the point of removing the hook if it’s dead. (Unless you’re keeping to cook.)
why not with a dry hand?
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.
Yes, make sure you grab a lion fish like that...😱
I got sticked by a dorsal fin.
That’s a big blue gill
Isn’t he holding the fish wrong right off the bat? I’ve heard hanging a fish like that can stretch out their spines an kill them eventually?
Dont lie. Who else is scared as fuck of being stung trying to hold a fish?
As long as if it isn't a catfish
