The thing I hate most is when they pretend they are all tired out, but then chomp down on those big, thick circle hooks and refuse to let you extract it from their hard rubbery mouths. You can barely get one hand around to grip them, but you have to pry open their jaws, while still holding a slippery fish as long and strong as your arm PROPERLY so he can't bite you, spike you with a 2" spine, or suddenly swap the hook out from him to you.
Having an inexperienced person hold the fish so you can use both hands on the mouth end SOUNDS like a good idea, but it isn't.
