SeaWolf;
Maybe I'm biased since I grew up catching bluefish in the harbor (when we had big pogies) and offshore of newport during the lean years of bass fishing, but handling bluefish isnt rocket science... grab em firmly behind the head, if its a decent fish I'll pin its tail under my arm and unhook with my left hand...

As far as schoolies being mis-handled; there is a reason I dont fish or support fishing certain spots, especially where you have to haul a schoolie straight up 10ft then drop it back into the water... most soco people know the spot I'm thinking of you can roll out of your car walk 2ft and cast....
