Fish lip gripper

[Deasoninc]

I recently picked up a lip gripper for the boat. As we are having a great year fishing with lots of walleye and pike coming in the boat . I got it to let my kids work with the fish a bit more. Before they wouldn't hold one for a pic unless I hand it to them. And I found they 'dropped' the fish more often then not.Now with the lip gripper they hold them up with no issues , and no fish slapping around in the bottom of the boat .

What's the thoughts on these lip grips? Are they a ethical way to handle the fish?

Thanks for your opinions
