I agree to keep the head up AND
Once you have determined which side of the boat the fish will be coming to, get the net into the water. Submerge as much of the rim of the net as you can, but leave some of it out so that the angler can clearly see where he needs to get the fish.
Do not jab at the fish with the net. Simply leave the net in the water and allow the angler to lead it in.
Turn the net so that it offers the largest possible entry to the fish.
As soon as the fish is past the rim of the net, lift it out with a slight scooping motion. If the fish is large, do not scoop, rather hold the handle of the net in a vertical fashion and lift the net out of the water.
But I wanted to welcome you to the L.D.R. club and it will happen allot!
