Oh how cute-I'm with you-don't mind baiting the hook but I hate touching the fish-I always either make Jim take it off or use a towel or glove on my hand. I have been cut more that once on gills and spines-perch mostly.
jjvI can just hear them saying "i really am a very cuddly fish"...lol...soozie
Your fishes are so friendly. Quite understandable you will not do them any harm :-) Very cute and good work! Maria
Oh my!! I grew up in the era, the men caught them and you cleaned them, that would have been a dilemma for sure & if you went fishing you baited your own hook and took the fish off the line if you caught one. Daddy only showed me one time how to do it all and if you went fishing with him and the boys you had to do it. BTW I love fishing, off the bank, pier, boat and most especially Deep Sea Fishing. Alas, the girls all think I'm to old to do any of it now except fish off a pier and I do not even get to do that any more/ These are way to pretty to get slimy fish all over. LOL/Lillian
all of your post are beautiful I do not have time to post on each one of them .

These are so cute. I like my fish to be caught, cleaned and cooked and no by me. hehe
I touched them as a kid when my dad took me fishing, but am with you, Devon, as an adult...uh uh.......
lol! Nice towels. I'll touch em as long as they're not a catfish, I'm afraid of getting stuck. hehehe!
Use to take my girls fishing when ever we got a chance but always took them home to dad to clean them..
These are cool, I can bait my own hook, haul them in, take them off the line...HOWEVER...I draw the line at cleaning them! I will fix them! What I wouldn't give for a good mess of crappie and bluegill! :-}
Nice work. I have to join you on the handle them fish. I would be ok except when they wiggle ewww them fin bones and I feel that .........well they become flying fish. Lost a few lol I can't stand that feeling.
oh i lover cleaning them the best i love to pop their floater lol
Great job hugs
Know exactly what your talking about Carolyn. I've gutted many, many of them, been finned and speared by catfish but ii never took away the thrill of catching bigger and more than the men & boys, that really galls them LOL/Lillian
