Nets bad for Catch & Release?
In reading a fishing book about a local area it had a section about catch and release where it mentioned only to use a net when absolutely necessary. It stated that nets “tear mouths, rip gills, break fins and teeth, scratch eyes, and remove slime”… My understanding was that using a net for catch and release is beneficial as you can keep them in the water the majority of the time. So far I haven’t had any noticeable issues. Have any of you heard this or had any issues?
