There's more bacteria on your phone or a random door handle than a lowly bass you catch

 

 

Really? This is not that big of a deal. How do you eat when you are out fishing after handling fish? I mean, you do touch your food after that, right? Same thing.

 

you guys are smarter than these average bears.... 

 

people have more misconceptions about cleanliness and transfer of bacteria than they do about bass fishing.....

Just because something is safe doesn't mean it isn't gross, I'm not gonna handle a bass then eat my PB&J until washing my hands off.

I wouldnt drink the lake water so I'm not gonna risk it.

Well in that case, "kiss my bass"

 Do you guys do it like Jimmy Houston lol?

No...Jimmy doesn't use his tongue

I won't kiss anything that starts with a b

It's not something I really see as all that gross, but I have no need or want to do it. Although I've done it once it twice joking around. I usually just give it a "thank you buddy".

Uhhh, I wash my hands??

 

Well I guess to each his own! I've never washed my hands while fishing and I always eat out there. Never had a problem. I mean, I'm not gonna sit there and lick a fish up and down but I just don't think it is that big of a deal.

I am pretty sure I saw an episode of Jimmy Houston outdoors and he said it was bad to kiss them because you can get sick.

I've forgot soap/water on fishing trips and had to eat without washing my hands after handling bass so I will do it but I prefer to wash my hands...

I just eat before I go. You can take some hand sanitizer or wipes with you. Do something to clean up if you have to eat on the water and don't kiss a fish.

I don't kiss bass.

No bass kissing for me.

Idk... Sometimes bass have small leeches in their mouth

I would prefer to lick a toilet.

The bass kiss me.

I would prefer to lick a toilet.

Discretion being the better part of valor, I think I'll just let that sit there and simmer for a bit.

The big girls I'll kiss but not on a normal basis

I was dating a big cow bass from down south this spring. When she told me her daddy told her she was the best kisser in the county I ran. Sorry down south guys I sometimes can't help myself.
