I like to run them in a net and leave them in the water to calm down. Everybody does it their own way. Really not a right or wrong way as long as you aren’t dropping them and bouncing them off the floor. Have you ever tried a glove? I didn’t like it but I know some guys do like them and it saves their hands.
Ditto fish never leaves the water except for a pic. Neither does the net.
Nice fish ugly hands.😀
