[QUOTE="Allen, post: 259277, member: 389"] I'd suggest it's a combination of species (body style) and weight. Can't imagine a common 14 inch walleye being held by the gill plate is going to suffer internal damages, but an eight or ten pound walleye being held by the gills has really got to put the stretch to the internal organs. Same with a pike of good size, but a 20 lb buffalo or 15 lb carp doesn't seem to have quite the stretch going on. I know, life just ain't always fair. [/QUOTE]
