Rob... correct me if I am wrong but I recall when you got version 1 of the promar net when we laid into them up north. I think I said that the net was going to be a hook grabber and sure enough, the scissors came out that day on a couple of the big ones. I'm not sure if they make both versions of the net we use still but maybe you can remember the mesh to stray people away from. I have the same net that Rob / Nico and a bunch of others use. If you don't want to use it for netting fish, you could always use it to catch full sized mountain lions as they run at you.
