I think a landing net is required by law.

Thanks for all the info. I'm off to buy a gaff. Hope I get to pull in a big Hali.

A net is required By DFG. It's about a $200.00 ticket if they site you.
28.65(d) No gaff hook shall be used to take or assist in landing any finfish shorter than the minimum size limit. For the purpose of this section a gaff hook is any hook with or without a handle used to assist in landing fish or to take fish in such a manner that the fish does not take the hook voluntarily in its mouth. No person shall take finfish from any boat or other floating device in ocean waters without having a landing net in possession or available for immediate use to assist in landing undersize fish of species having minimum size limits; the opening of any such landing net shall be not less than eighteen inches in diameter.
It's always nice to have a gaff with you.
