Thanks guys. Great info. I understand the problem of having to land the fish without a net. Last weekend my wife landed a 15lbs Buck and the head wouldn't even fit in the net. Needless to say I had WWF in the Hood Canal with this thing. Great stories and yes I need a smoker now too and I have a net that would fit an 80lbs fish now.
