Timothy, the reason we don't usually like to touch our fish is because it removes the slime coating, and leaves the skin prone to bacterial infections.
However, in this case, the hand is being used as a guide to the size of the fish, and also notice, that the keeper's hand is very wet in each case. These would be very experienced fish keepers, and would be very careful with their fish :P
