BassinWill301 Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I was just wondering if you guys use a net for landing fish? If so why? If not why not? Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted March 16, 2008 Super User Posted March 16, 2008 i dont have a net, i dont have room for a net, and i dont plan on getting a net. so i never use nets Quote
THEbassmaster Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 only on big fish, unless im in a tourney then we net everything that is a keeper or close to it. aaron Quote
BassinWill301 Posted March 16, 2008 Author Posted March 16, 2008 Yeah when I'm in a tourney I will net the bass, other then that only on big fish. Quote
HPBB Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 I would say 75% of the time, but in a tournament 100% of the time I have lost to many fish trying to swing them in the boat Quote
Super User Grey Wolf Posted March 16, 2008 Super User Posted March 16, 2008 Nets are for sissies!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just joking fella's. Since I do most of my fishing from the bank now , it's just something else I don't want to carry. Quote
Daiwa Posted March 16, 2008 Posted March 16, 2008 Only on the big fish. With the little ones I just use my thumb. Quote
Super User Bassin_Fin@tic Posted March 17, 2008 Super User Posted March 17, 2008 never. ditto on what dsaavedra and matt 5.0 said Quote
sorethumb Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I would net more if I had a frame for my 2 nets a buddy of mine made me. So, if someone has an old frame just laying around or don't need.... just let me know so I can net me a big ole sow! ;D Quote
Branuss04 Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 Just like everyone else, If they seem to be around 5 or over, i'll net them. The dinks i'll just lift them into the boat or lip em. Quote
FR0G Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 No net here. Either pull them up to shore, or lip them in my pontoon. Quote
Bass XL Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I'll use one during a tournament, but otherwise I wont use one. Quote
EastTexasBassin Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 I don't usually have one with me, but there have been a few times when I wish I had. Quote
Super User MALTESE FALCON Posted March 17, 2008 Super User Posted March 17, 2008 With all my spine problems, the last thing I need to do is keep bending down to lip my fish. Anything over a couple pounds, I use the net. Falcon Quote
Super User Tin Posted March 17, 2008 Super User Posted March 17, 2008 Using nets is against my religion. In 2006 while fishing in an FLW event, the pro I was with would run to get the net and by the time he was on the deck ready, a fish would come flying at his face. Have to love 30 pound braid. 8-) Quote
Super User Bankbeater Posted March 17, 2008 Super User Posted March 17, 2008 I don't own one. If its a dink, I'll lift him. If its a hawg, I'll lip him. Quote
Ky_Lake_Dude Posted March 17, 2008 Posted March 17, 2008 only on big fish, unless im in a tourney then we net everything that is a keeper or close to it.aaron us too Quote
