Common Fish Handling Mistakes - Got Some?

[fcap60]

I'm guilty of this one myself:

Grabbing the plug, instead of the fish or leader-when reaching to grab the fish.

if you use a shorter rod while wading sandbars its alot easyer to land fish and also if you have the pliers at your finger tips it makes it easyer.
