[QUOTE="pluckem, post: 259280, member: 843"] I don't think any hold is an automatic death sentence. I am sure plenty of fish even survived the eye socket hold. However if you think about what could go wrong during a type of hold some seem to hold a bit more risk than others. I am guilty of the gill hold at times, especially when needing to remove a hook deep in the mouth, and if you have a decent size fish start thrashing its tail, many times you can hear and feel something tear. That cant be a positive for the fish. Just do what you feel is best and respect the fish. [/QUOTE]
