As far as holding bass by the jaw, I don't think that there is only one way of holding it by the jaw lets take a look....
First if you bend you hand way over to extend the jaw and so the fish is at 7:00 to 8:00 angle or more you can hurt the fish...
But if the bass is at the up and down or 12:to 6:00 angle then I don't think you will hurt the bass...
If you hold the bass or any fish across your body you should support the body of the fish....
Nothing is black and white when holding fish.....
