What do you use? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I had one of those nice folding nets until my daughter thought it would float. I was short on funds so i picked up a cheapy at sports Atority and cut the handle down to fit a kayak. It's a pain because it takes up too much space and hooks really like to get tangle in it. I rarely use it and hardly ever take it to LJ. I try to cover my bases, legally wise, because the DFG can write you a ticket for not having a net. If you have any fish with a minimum size on your boat and don't have a net you can get a ticket. That would suck getting written up for a 20 lb halibut becasue you didn't have your net. Mike
