 I don't wish to take anything away from this pair of truly jaw-dropping, magnificent fish, but just how on earth are you holding those Bruce? Every time I try that the fish either flops out of my grasp and gets covered in grass clippings/pine needles/ dandelion fluff,  or, succeeds in driving a spine into my hand.

Are the fish lethargic? Do you have really grippy Spiderman fingers? Novacaine on your fingertips?

I have seen untold photos where the fish is seemingly balanced atop your fingers, you have got the technique down for sure, so do you have any tips for the rest of us?

Goodness! This is one massive pair. No wonder Richmond Mill's get the reputation that it truly deserves. Too bad we don't have a warp tunnel that could be tapped directly into this BOW. Lord mighty!

Nice looking pair of coppernose Bruce I like the way your holding them side by side for the comparison of the Male and Female. Great fish you are truly the Gill King for sure.
