Had to share this, never leave the dock without your net

Learned important lesson this afternoon. Went out to make a few casts at Shearon Harris just outside of Raleigh and left my net in the garage. Had one between 7-8 pounds at the boat and she broke off as I tried to lip her. Touched her tail before she swam off. Lost my favorite crank bait and just sat there sighing.
Oh well, next time the net will be in the boat. Hope everyone has a great weekend.

Sucks a the time but thats the thing I love best about fishing. So many incredible things seen on the water that don't get documented or make back to land.

I never bring a net in the yak. Have lost a few good fish but try to bring minimal gear. One day it will really bite me

Challenge is trying to get the fish in the boat without embedding trebles from big crank bait into your hand. I have not mastered the technique of grabbing under the belly and hugging the bass.

I used to never bring one either, only a boga. Then I lost my PB trout (likely, by a wide margin) at the side of the yak and felt sick to my stomach. I always bring a net now.

It only takes one time. It's a sick sick feeling. Unbelievable. Sucks and I hate it for you.

Same, but with flounder from yak. Everything gets netted but stingrays and hardheads.

They are always bigger when they get away.
So it was about 3.5 or 4.0 /

I hear Weathertech has also gotten into the net market as well. It was only a matter of time.

Nope, have caught several 7-8’s off of the same roadbed. She was a nice one. Maybe someone will catch her today with my crank bait hanging out of her mouth!!

I've had to remove enough treble hooks out of my hand over the years...
I always use a net when fishing with trebles now...
jerk baits and crank baits...

Fishing topwater from a kayak can get sketchy. A She dog flying at you at eye level is scary as hell.

yeah I've had my close calls with baits flying back at me...
