free handing...
I can't remember what it's called, but as a kid, my brother and used to go to this small creek about a mile from the house in upstate New York and we'd catch small brook trout with our hands. They'd be tucked up under the overhang of the creek bank and you used to be able to gently slide your hand under them and grab them or ideally get a finger under their gill cover plate and flip them out of the water.
And this fall, I actually caught a Bluefish with my hands. They were busting bait on the shore and a wave carried the bait and the blues past me up on to the beach and when the skinny water receeded, a nice fat blue came wiggling by and I grabbed him by the tail! He was invited home for dinner....
