i fish recreational only and i don't understand why so many blokes insist on having a keep net.
sure i understand if u taking 1 or 2 home or u fishing comp,its just that ever time i see guys packing up to go home the last thing they do is empty there net back into the dam,so why keep them at all then?
so many of these fish don't survive a day or two in the net especially in the summer months.

so come catch the fish snap a pic and back into the water
:thankie

Ek dink die meeste mense wat dit doen is net oningelig. Toe ek 'n klein pikkie was het ek dit ook gedoen tot ek 'geskool' was oor die gevare wat 'n keepnet vir vis in hou.

My kiepnet het seker so 3 mm se stof op. Ding hang net in die garage en ek kan nie onthou wanneer laas ek die ding gebruik het nie.

Ek stem saam, gebruik dit net vir liga en komp. Toe ek jonger was het ons dit in die net gehou, maar ek dink dit was maar net vir die spog. Gelukkig is ons nou ouer, en hopelik wyser.

Question is also, who are you fishing for? for yourself and your own pleasure? or are you fishing to show off, or to prove to strangers that you've caught something??? Why do you have to prove that anyway?

I fish for myself and for my own pleasure, and my "keepnet" is my camera and my notebook where I keep score.

Just my take on that one...

Funny thing is you can still do this without a keepnet. Just show them the photo's on your cell or camera and brag about it if you want. lol
