Thread: G-O-rilla handling

I saw this poster for the proper way of handling LM TrashFish and thought we should show people how to properly handle the EF G-O-rilla's. Apparently some anglers are mishandling fish and breaking their jaws.

The Texas Parks and Wildlife has sent out posters reminding fishermen and women to never hold a fish by its jaw since it will almost always break.

The poster suggests using two wet hands to "get a grip on tail and lip" because it's better for the health of the fish.

That's the way we handle crappie over 10" at East Fork this year. Gotta protect those "slabs".
