BK, In my opinion a C&R net is cool, unless the practice is to lift the fish out of the water with net and man handle the fish to weigh it. Actually it would be great to see more anglers use a C&R net it better serves a dual purpose- allows an angler to net hatchery fish as well as lessen the impact on wild fish, but just like any tool, it's the operator who uses it correctly.
