Fish amina,what a joke

I completely agree with as regards the keep net conditor, land, weigh and release is the way to do it. I find the keep net absolutely abhorrent as well and totally unnecessary.

I never used a keepnet , that way all my previous catches of the session continued to balloon in size with each passing enquiry into "How's your day going?"

Any good fisherman knows that if you put an exhausted fish back in the water straight away, it's vulnerable to predator fish like Pike.
Yet many waters with Pike don't allow keep nets.

Of course fishermen of my candelabra have little use for a keep net, the fish I catch are far too big to fit into one of those.
