Won't knock anyone's techniques after all the fish just fought for its life, is near exhaustion that's exposure to hard handling enough.
That is the problem though many people use them too often have inferior versions or don't hold them properly.

Same goes for weigh scales. Stupid scales probably kill more big fish then any other piece of equipment.
