Securing and Unhooking the Catch

What happens here

The angler carefully reaches into the water and secures the bass by lip-gripping it with a bare hand. This technique effectively immobilizes the fish and prevents injury to both the fish and the angler. Once secured, the angler gently removes the fishing hook from the fish's mouth. The visible lure is a dark soft plastic worm, Texas rigged, which is still attached to the hook.

Goal: Safely remove the hook from the fish
