moguy1973 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 The Frabill Conservation series is a great net. I bought one after talking to the Frabill booth at the BASS Expo a couple of years ago. They told me I could net a Northern Pike with a crankbait hanging out of it's mouth and be able to get the fish and crankbait out with no problem. Way better than those heavy rubber nets. Nah, didn't buy a net. Bought a Hawg Trough... -- JimIf people concentrated on the really important things in life, there'd be a shortage of fishing poles. -- Doug Larson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtrs5kprs Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 All depends on the board and where it sits. Hot back metal board on carpet is one thing. Handheld wet plastic hog trough is another. My board is gold and bolted to my vinyl floor. Except for the walleye and the exceptional bass, I do not use it. I keep my board on the underside of a rod box lid with velcro. Keeps it out of the sun. That way, even if it somehow stays dry around my hands/fish/perpetual rain, it is at least cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holleybob Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 You could put one worthy of a picture in the live well, let him catch his breath, get your boat back into position, snap a shot and send him home. dtrs5kprs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sore Thumbs Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 My measuring board stays under the lid of my storage box. It has a holder for it. So it usually stays cool. I'll just dip it in the water from now on. dtrs5kprs 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRV1990 Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 Wonder if these ingredients are in Rejuvenade? Or Please Release by Sure-Life, or Catch and Release Calming Livewell Additive??

DADAKOTA Posted March 28, 2016 Share Posted March 28, 2016 I take care of caught fish to the best of my abilities. I'm betting more fish are killed by those who fish natural bait and those that are slow to set the hook using a senko, soft plastics, etc. resulting in deeply hooked fish. In addition today's super hooks are far less likely to rust out than the hooks we grew up with. As such, cutting the line on a deeply hooked fish will most likely result in a dead one.

176champion Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Just bend the barbs on the hooks flat and when you have a fish on just give it slack and hook come out then you dont have to handle the fish. I know everything about nothing and know nothing about everything! Bruce Philips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wheelchair bass assasin Posted March 31, 2016 Members Share Posted March 31, 2016 Why don't you pay attention to the one that just swallowed your hook instead of giving someone else a hard time GNSfishing 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MOsmallies Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 2 words, Hog Trough Couldn't agree more... Best measuring board for taking pics when you are by yourself and want to show the true size. I just dip mine in the water first so it's wet before putting the fish on it. Plus it takes all the guessing and lying on size out of the equation. I put mine in the bass boat at LOZ and I'm gonna buy a new one for my kayak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
