I have been looking for a really good net for landing and weighing big bass in. There is a net, designed for saltwater, that I think could be just the thing.

It's at the bottom of this page (the grey one at the very end on the lower left)

I talked to a guy who uses them in saltwater and he said the grey one is really good on the fish and that the net itself is very light and very deep in the mesh so that the fish can lay flat in the bottom instead of being curved like a U.

The total length of the net is 84" which means the handle is about 5 and a half feet long. I might have to cut that down. But if you had someone else netting the fish, it could be a good thing...

Has anyone tried this net for bass or otherwise? Just looking for any additional info before I buy it.

I saw those when I was working at that angler's choice sale a couple months ago. They look good but I'm not sure how well they'd drag through the water. Dragging a sea anchor through the water, trying to net your own fish could be problematic. Maybe just bring that one if you've got somebody with you and use the normal one for solo missions. I've never actually used one of those nets, so you'll have to try it out and post results, but it seemed with that wide mesh it wouldn't glide through the water as easily when you're lunging for a jumping bass next to the boat. Another guy to talk to is Flomar from insidesportfishing.com, I think he uses those nets too.

Dat's who I talked to. He said they are pretty killer.
