Stowmaster nets are great, as they collapse and give you more room if you have a smaller boat. Plus the coating on the bag is super thick.

Of course, I use the giant muskie net myself, which brings up something I see on you tube all the time that irks me in the same way. Muskies getting netted by tiny uncoated nets. I would understand if they were bass or walleye fishermen who caught an incidental muskie. Nothing wrong with that, but most of the time I see that they are using muskie lures and still have a tiny net. If you are specifically targeting big fish, why would you buy all the lures, rods and reels required, but still cheap out on a net? Frustrating thing to see, and worse, to catch a fish after it has been through this ordeal, with split fins, and scars on it. Probably about as bad as when someone catches a bass, but doesn't have any pliers on hand to get the hooks out of a deeply hooked fish.

It's EL SALTO!! It's a local Mexican Guide as 'netman', from what I've seen on EVERY El Salto show, is they 'have to' have them in the boat, and that's not the first 'botched' net job either!(A friend who used to take groups down there told me, if you don't tip them well, the incentive to find/land big fish is not there .....) I'm not sure they 'get' how 'IMPORTANT' a BIG MUTHA BASS is to us, how HARD we have worked, and that for some of us, very little else matters.....All that said, 18 lbs. max... do you think the "unofficial" (it's official in MY book!) Long/Dickerson/Weakley would have come that far out of the water... or even COULD have??? I'd be interested in thoughts...
