Walleye Boat net

Good video for netting, but I am middle of the road on direction for netting.  Most depends on where the fish comes up in relation to boat and motor and how experienced the pole person is in controlling the fish.  When Erie Mako and I are fishing it is common for me to ask him to drop the fish back a bit once I get the net into position if it is close to the boat, or lift the fishes nose a bit if I can get it from the front.  Both  can work well if everyone understands what is going on.  Getting rushed either running the pole or the net is where problems happen.
I agree about avoiding nets with fine thread/weave in the netting, rubberized or coated netting is heavier in the water but a huge benefit in reducing hook snags in the net, I avoided the wider rubber mesh style because of drag but found one with coated mesh that has been good.  There are trade offs that the individual should consider and go with what will work for them.
 Ours has an extendable handle to allow for easier storage and it works well, but again it is personal choice.
 Many nets are very deep, sometimes deeper than is really needed. I like the large hoop opening but found the super deep net made it more prone to tangling up, so we gathered the net in the bottom and used a line of zip ties to tightly gather it and reduced the depth by about a third.  Doing that helped make it more manageable and really hasn't hurt in getting the fish into the boat that we have noticed.... just an option if you find a net hoop you like but not the net depth....
