[cool][#0000ff]There are many tools, techniques and preferences when it comes to controlling and handling fish. I agree about the lip grippers. I would never suggest that anybody use them on fish they plan to release, unless it is simply to hold the head steady in the water while working out the hooks. I use them primarily for holding larger and/or toothy fish that I am keeping, while transporting them or taking photos. Unfortunately, a lot of folks do not take good care of the fish they release...if they release anything.[/#0000ff]
