Those gill plates are as sharp as a razor blade. It's the same on walleyes. I've have my fingers sliced pretty good by both. The most wicked fish I've ever grabbed bare handed was a sturgeon. Only did that once. Those things will shred the hide right off of you!

Walleyes can get ya but I think the absolute best knife fighters in the fish world are white bass. A sandy can make you cuss in about a nanofucket. Which is pretty dang quick.

Little bass in the 11-12 inch variety are only good for yanking treble hooks through your digits too.
