We watched a guy on the Clearwater last week while we were Salmon fishing first jab at the fish, I couldn't believe he didn't snap his line, try to pin it to the bank, and try to put the net over the top of the fish...I turned the other way and quietly snickered I haven't seen anything like it in a long time. Do those big fish just completely cloud the brain on how to net properly. The guys I fish with, we have a method of like when a jet is landing on a carrier, the pilot has the ball...we don't attempt to net until the guy that's hooked up says so and that he feels his fish is ready...communication is the key, between netter and catcher. The longest grudges I have ever seen is between a guy that has lost a big fish and the guy that lost it for him.
