I hardly ever touch them. Only very occassionally would I have a reason. Funny thing is, most I've found weren't mean, but deceptively calm - almost like you could reach down and pick them up (with a few exceptions). That's what's disconcerting about them. I've even nearly stepped on them without knowing it - looked down and there they were. Once I hooked them, they all bit my hook. I'm sure they'd do that to my hand, too.
The few coppers I've found were all nasty, though. Attitude problems. That seems to go against most people's observations that they are pretty easy going. How did that one act? And how big was that copper? Photos are deceiving. Was it small?
