Nice catches. In the future try to keep the bass off of the ground and other dry surfaces when you land them. Though the species is pretty tough, it does rely on a slime coat to help prevent infections and what not from the rough life of a fish. When you let it on the ground you remove some of that coat and drastically increase the chance the fish will die an early death.
