To save the fish's fins the rubber mesh types of nets are the ones you want. The F&G regs say the net must be 18" across. As for a gaff I stay with 3' or less. It doesn't seam to matter how long your gaff is you still tend to reach out for the fish. I prefer the gaffs with the smaller hooks, 2" or so. Mike
