I enjoy drop shotting for Perch.
Mostly because I can pick my bag up and go with hardly any preparation for a few hours.
One thing that really annoys me is the practise of anglers (mostly on you tube) that have got the habit of picking up Perch by the bottom lip with fingers placed under the fishes chin.
This I've spotted a couple of times locally to where I fish, obviously mimicking the Yanks on you tube.
Is it a practise that should or shouldn't be used, is it safe to hold a fish in such a fashion.
It certainly doesn't seem to me that it's a good way to treat fish.
Is my annoyance well placed or misguided. If this is a good way to hold a fish I would be interested to know why.
