Oh Boy! I have a hard time believing anyone is surprised by the poor fish handling. It's just sad that those guys allowed it to be aired on their show. They are rookies for the most part, I know the edit guy and camera man personally. I'll be having a chat with them.

I remember a similar situation years ago on the other show and they've gotten marginally better at handling fish or at least leaving gill shots on the cutting room floor.

Not all the Qin guides are complete idiots like the one on the show. Some even know how to catch fish and handle them properly.
