What is up with the proposal to not use a gaff.......
I really do not like using nets. If your boat is small enough to reach over and lip a fish by hand that you intend to release regardless of size what is the issue.
I you have a slob next to the boat that you intend to retain and fillet and/or sell if you are a comm what is the issue.
How about just fining an idiot that is seen gaffing small or any size fish and returning them to the ocean.
Just how often is this happening......enough to justify this proposal. When fishing alone allot easier to gaff a big fish then net. I have lost some nice fish trying to get one in a net on other peoples boats. Especially when there is a multi hook plug........the plug hangs up on the net stopping the fish from going in, then the hook pops out...........goodbye.......
