A word of advice; a 18" net minimum net opening is required on all fishing boats or floating vessels fishing saltwater according to DFG regs. (Primarily for the safe landing & release of "short" or out of season game fish.)
Personally I carry a gaff, boga grips & ARC DEHOOKER (for toothy critters) along with a net.
