While probably not the best way to do it ... I don't see the need for a witch hunt here either. Personally, I wouldn't one one over the boat ... especially a bigger fish that is hard to hold onto as they often can slide out of the tail grasp fairly easily ... but at least it's not by the gills or vertical either.

As for the youngster ... give him a break, do we know if the guide suggested to the young fella after the picture to handle as little as possible? Maybe, maybe not, doesn't really matter though. That smile says it all, and he likely knows no different.

I could go on ... but won't, but all of suddent here seems to be this move to go find pics on the web to bash. In a few cases of extreme behavior, I'm for slapping a wrist, but there's lots more to worry about out there as well
