It is just a net. Yes. But it is more than just a net when you need to land that big fish.

Today I walk through a few net basics: shapes, sizes, materials. I also discuss a few techniques, best practices, and ways to carry your net.

This is one of those topics that is really basic. But for someone who has only ever done one thing, or for the new angler, this information can truly be helpful as you head out to the water... or put together a wish list. Don't sleep on a nice custom net for a luxury gift for the angler who has everything!
