The thing is people do use nets so lets try to minimize the impacts that nets have by using a good catch and release net such as a Loki. I have heard talk of how it is difficult to release fish without taking them out of the water when it is rough, But in a full summer in SE Alaska releasing upwards of 30-50 kings a day we didn't touch a single fish and that is in seas of 12-15 ft. at times. It can be done. I do think that education is a major player in saving fish. But we are at a drastic time in the survival of our wild fish and it's time to do whatever we can do to minimize our impact upon the resource. Just my .02
