Oops. Just google Bernie schultz images. There's one of him breaking a jaw in 2014. When did he write the article? He wrote it after that pic. He got a bunch of grief for holding that way. He said he never knew it could break the jaw so he researched it and wrote the article.

Is this the correct way?  NO, that is not the correct way Mike! Obviously, the guy is standing on one leg really, he can pull something. He needs to be standing on both feet. But honestly, the best way to hold them and not mess with the mouth is shown in my photo below. Just grab the skin on the side. This way, you are sure not to break the jaw or hurt their head. Or is this wrong also?

If you break it's jaw this is the correct way to dispose of the fish. Beer batter optional...I prefer lemon butter with a hint of garlic.

From looking at some posts of fishermen and "guides" holding bass they need to learn correct way to hold bass without breaking their jaws. Please post some pix of the way you hold big fish. Everyone likes seeing big fish pix on here plus it will be educational for us.

I hear the bass activist are protesting around lakes...."Fins up--Don't Lip"!!!! It's a fish...and when you catch one that big, if you have any kinda passion for the sport all there is in the moment is you and the excitement!!

I usually spin mine in a circular motion keeping my arm extended. I heard if you make 'em dizzy, it will not upset the school.

I have always thought breaking/stretching a females jaw was a good thing. From looking at some posts of fishermen and "guides" holding bass they need to learn correct way to hold bass without breaking their jaws.
