I carry 3 nets with me. The smallest is a trout stream hand net which I use most of the time on crappie. The 2nd largest is one of the newer rubber nets with the extending handle and has landed any crappie I've ever caught. The 3rd net I carry is an even larger one for say walleyes or catfish. Well, the other day, I had on a crappie so big the 1st net went back down on the floor, the 2nd net went back down on the floor, and I saw finally that the 3rd net was not going to work also. So... I went ahead and backed off my drag, ran the boat back to the dock and trailored it, drove the 12 miles to my house (thank goodness for that extra large capacity reel I got at WallyWorld for Christmas), grabbed my salmon net, drove back, launched the boat, cranked down the drag again and... if you've read the post this far you need a job or somethingDoh
