jedimaster Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 Sowith the other netting question I got one for yah. We have all had this happen, you get the big monster BAss, Pikeral, musky... whatever right at the boat and the net man, goes to scoop her up and wham, she gets off. Well a few weeks ago while pre fishing, a fish threw a hook at the side of the boat and jumped in the air. The hook was clearly out fo the fishes mouth and I caught the bass in the air with the net without the hook attached. Is this a legal catch? A nice catch yes...but it makes me wonder.
bassmaster4 Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 same thing happened to me a couple of weeks ago i consider it legal because the fish was legally hooked and although it got off you were going to net it anyway
ehg Posted August 20, 2010 Report Posted August 20, 2010 The fish was caught and reeled to boat and net. The net was there already to allow for flukey capture. Quite often fish became unhooked upon netting for me. Maybe in a tournament it would matter.
