Very nicely done!

i had a friend who was driving the boat so he was my backup.

on a kayak.. i think you just keep the guy in the net until you are 158% sure that you have him gripped before you try to transfer him into the holding cell.

big bugs have have heads and i just gran their antenna and let them claw the crap out of my hand/wrist while i do the transfer.

Congrats on the big bugs!!

Sorry to hear about the ones that got away. By the way that's why I keep 2 flat nets in my set of 5. I catch more volume in the 3 ambush nets but any of the super big ones that I've caught have come from the old school flat nets.
