I think one should never gaff a Bass no matter what the situation is. We fished Cape Cod Bay all day on Sunday and damn I saw a lot of people gaffing small Bass and then releasing them. I say get a really big net and use it.

I do gaff a Bass thatg is already dead on a very short handled Gaff in order to drag or carry it up the Bach at the end of a session.
