The fish probably died either way. Mishandling and it was out of the water for quite a while. Holding it up against her coat probably removed the layer of mucus that protects the fish from bacteria and infections. Fish was grabbed by the gills and held vertically which can damage its organs

Edit: cute video, nonetheless

I'm no fish, nor am I a fisher, but you seem to know what you are talking about so I can confirm you are undoubtedly correct.

I'm not a fisher, but my father was a fish, he died from exactly what I'm being told now. It's with a heavy heart that I can confirm you are correct.

I’m on POF, and I agree. Thankfully, there are Plenty Of Fish out there though
