If your hands are clean (free of perfumes and chemicals) and wet it's no big deal honestly; the slime coat isn't that delicate.

In fact it's actually preferable to transport fish and other aquatic creatures by hand rather than using a net. For smaller fish the net has to be used but bigger fish and axolotls can be picked up.

Reminds of that one Courage the Cowardly Dog episode.
