Speaking of slime coat. Watching Bass Live, I am amazed at the amount of time the pros just let fish flop on the carpet. Randall Tharp was the worst a couple weeks ago, literally fish flopped around while he positioned his boat away from the bank to hit spot lock.
I am quick to get fish in my hands if boat flipped and unless they are big, they never touch carpet. And if they are big enough to net, they don’t hit the carpet either.
I’m just a little put off by the care most people have for the bass we spend so much time and money on to catch with little regard to the well being of the fish.
They are just fish. It's no big deal
No kidding Dubee.
About a year ago there was a post about boat flipping fish and I said it was bad for the fish to let it lay on the carpet. There was not one person that posted that agreed with me that it would hurt the fish.
Now everyone is piling on someone else that did it.
I think most of the people on TFF just like to disagree or pile on with anyone they can.
