Personally I don't see a need to flip heavier fish. Pro's do it to save time, we are not on the clock. Now, if your catching bucks/dinks, by all means flip in. With say a 5lb and up bass you risk having that fish fly on your deck bouncing around into who knows what, I've seen pro's have this happen, and it's not good for the fish. Bass can't protect their eyes if they are slammed into something. Anything over 2 lbs, gets lipped or netted, for me, it's liping them, I don't, and never have owned a net. 

 

While I'm at it, seeing people lay a Bass on the ground with little sticks all over really irks me, good way to damage an eye. Please be Careful with your fish.

 

And my rant is over.
