no net !?

[ogrefish]

Hey guys , sorry I haven`t been here in a while. But I`m sure you have all missed me (lol). well I have been fishing a little, went the last weekend in Aug. and did very well on the nantahala. I came back out with a friend of mine and caught around sixty rainbows in cherokee in two days (he`s a newbie to freshwater trout,but now he`s hooked)we kept some and put most back.Now about the no net deal. A good friend bought a 19ft sea hunt spanking new. I caught some popeyes (mullet) for bait. and asked "Billy you gotta net for the live well"? nope he says.So we fished the minnows out by hand.We stopped by a dock that I frequent and BAM there he is . a nice flounder. I say "Billy you gotta landing net"? nope he says. so luckily he didn`t rush him and I was able to hand land him. the fish was 24.5 inches. Not bad for his first flounder ever.
