[QUOTE="guywhofishes, post: 175070, member: 337"] One thing I do when it comes to netting "lunkers" is I am trying to get a good look at the hook set as we battle the fish. If it's down deep I relax and let the fish tire - if it's hanging by a thread on her lip my netting (or advice to my netter) is way different - I know we probably got one shot at it. In other words my technique is different because the risks are different for different hookup types. A lot of newbs I have fished with get cranky and ask me why I went against what I had told them all day long about proper netting - on a certain fish late in the day for instance I'll see the fish is hanging by a thread and net differently. I tell them that with experience you occasionally have to adust to the hookup. I think they think I am BSing them and covering for doing it different the one time. [IMG]http://presentationzen.blogs.com/photos/uncategorized/ny_qb.jpg[/IMG] [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] the thought that a good fish is hanging by a thread is what freaks me out about leaving the boat in gear and just winching it in [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] that... and I swear more fish go belly up in the well when you haul them in for what seems to be forever against the current maybe just take an ice filled cooler and whack/stack when I plan to troll I guess [/QUOTE]
