Bouncing around on the deck and holding them by the jaw doesn't bother me... they are pretty tough fish. What makes me cringe is when people (especially professionals in front of a camera at the time) grip the fish by the jaw and shake wildly in celebration, or sling it above their head in celebration (or to show other people). Jacob Wheeler has a serious habit of doing this.

Some of these California pros are real cocky and showy. MDJ seems like a real chill guy ready to tear up the trail.

I caught a huge spotted bass at El Dorado this last December. The water was 39 degrees. Used a finesse jig.
