Understood and I agree... The charters up here regularly net 30 and 40 pound salmon, so nets can certainly be used.. I would say it would certainly be slower and a bit more cumbersome with a couple mates and the captain swinging huge heavy duty nets on a packed boat in the middle of a blitz, but thats not an all day every day thing... Good modern nets would save a number of stripers every year that a poorly placed gaff might kill.... bob
