I just ordered a RS Net, a musky hoop with a salmon bag and extendable handle. I have a couple of their walleye nets, a little heavy but indestructible. I wanted the bigger musky hoop without the musky bag, so they are making it with the salmon bag.
The thru hull fitting have always worried me, I had two, a wash down and a intake for the live wells. I've eliminated both, pumps, lines, fitting and all. Welded them closed(aluminum boat) didn't want to take a chance. Never used either live well and I can wash the boat when I get home.
