Glad to see you're so conscientious about C&R. Don't know what kind of gloves you have, but it seems like holding the fish that way would remove some of the slime coat. Plus, flesh doesn't burn at human temperature; it might shock the fish, but it won't hurt them too much physically. I still think the best way to handle fish is to wet your hands and touch them as little as possible, and get them back into the water as fast as you can.
Also, nice catches.
