I’m not going to lie, I’ve never thought about how I hold bass until I started seeing comments on some people’s posts here and you guys don’t play around. Being ignorant is one thing but now that I know I could be damaging/ breaking their jaw under their weight, I just want to double check. Think this is a safe angle?
Last fish of the year btw. Shes no donk, but she ain’t a dink either. Has me itching for Spring.

Yea
really no need to force the jaw like that. as an avid bass fisherman can’t really understand why people do that.
borderline here. you might be over stressing the jaw, but you are also clearly supporting the back half of the fish. many of the complaints come from people holding the fish horizontally and hanging the entire weight of the fish on the jaw hinge.
If you have to ask…. I’d prob avoid it
Angler here, yeah, fish is out of water. Fish is stressed tf out. Forget the pics and tell a story.
