Haha the Bass and Pike are no secret, they are spread from Coeur d'Alene all the way up to the Canadian Border! These Musky how ever I dont know for sure, I just know where some were stocked. [

If I had a boat or a toon I would rock the cradle, seems like it would work great for holding the fish still, keeping them calm and getting the hook out. Since I fish from shore (usually alone) Ill stick with a net. I had been told that you have to support the weight of a Musky so you dont hurt them which was why I was looking at a "Conservation" style net. I figured the flat bottom would help support the fishes weight IF I needed to lift it with the net (like if I went down to Utah and fish with the cousin in my Row Boat.)
What size net would you guys recomend? I want it to work for both steel head and musky my biggest use for it is to get the fish in my possession and pen it up so I can leave it in the water and get the hook out of its mouth. Im planning on 15-30" trout/steelhead, probably more in the 20"+, so musky have got to be about that size. (pending I dont find a big old 50 incher! [crazy])
