OK... gonna resurrect this old thread because I've found what I believe to be the best C&R bags for selective PNW fisheries.

Google up Promar.

First off, gotta thank CanyonMan for making his Promar C&R net available to me the past couple months. It's got ALL the features I'm looking for in a C&R bag, only in steelhead/small salmon size. I was very impressed. Right shape, right depth, right texture, right meshsize.... perfect! Too bad it wasn't made bigger.

Fast forward a couple months... wish come true! I've got my ultimate big fish C&R bag for my barge.

While shopping at a local tackle store a couple nights ago, I found a magnum version of the same bag. Only $59.95 and further discounted by 40% to boot.

SOLD!

Even though it's sold with a worthless stock 4' handle, the bag itself was well worth the purchase price. I'll either get the company to send a custom 6' handle or simply mount the bag on an existing Beckman or Frabill frame.
