Really Stupid

Today went fishing with grandson and he caught a really nice 6 & 1/2 LM Bass on crankbait. Put it in livewell and he immediately wanted to return to his great grandparents home on the lake to show them his fish.
We tied up at the dock and I was taking fish from livewell. As I cleared the top of the livewell with the fish and started to stand up the fish started twisting and flopping hard. I did not have a very good hold on his lower lip and fish twisted out of my hand, hit the rear deck and flop, right back into the lake he went.
I really do not think I have felt any worst about anything. I felt about 1/2 inch high and am still upset.
Have any of you even come close to doing anything so stupid while fishing. I guess the worst part was he said "Thats alright Papaw I will catch another one".
