We pull out the net because of the “Ritual” and if someone yells for the net and they have something really small or a Bullhead it gives us something to kid about.
Man I love fishing!

The dilemma for me are jerkbaits. A) if you don’t net the fish you have a higher risk of getting a hook in the hand with those small light sharp trebles flying everywhere. B) If you do net the fish, those light sharp trebles get unbelievably buried in the net. I had to cut 2 of them out last year during a tournament. Ruined my net…
I used to worry about that but now I just grab the fish by the shoulders instead of lipping them. Hands are plenty far away from the hooks.

Wait until you are pinned to a snotrocket by the treble hooks. The pain is amazing with them thrashing around.

I seem to never get those little rascals to the boat before they steal my lure, therefore not needing to worry about it.
