Title: Re: Landing nets vs fish grippers Post by fishinbuddy on Feb 11th, 2006 at 11:41pm
I was surfing the net while the site was down >:( and I found this article on the Ontario MRN site.
(You need to Login or Register In it they say that landing net 'may' cuase harm by damaging fins and removing the protective fish slime. Research is ongoing... I have normally used a net on some species, trout & walleye but for bass and pike I just grab the fish. I may consider a gripper if I could manage it easily enough. good topic it made me think. |
