Does anyone watch Musky Hunter or Fishing w/ Joe Bucher? Anyone notice how they land their fish? Not to take anything away from these guys, they have certainly caught more big fish than me, but who taught them how to land a fish? When they get the fish motionless on top of the water and lead it head first into the net I start clapping at the TV, but that is 1 in every 10 fish, and thats after they tryed to net it twice already. Usually the fish is down a foot or two, thrashing around, green as can be, trying to get away from the boat, and they are trying to net it. WHY? I understand they are trying to film a show, but cummon... that's really bad. I wonder how many fish they have lost doing this?


Common sense tells you, get the fish on top of the water under control, lead it head first. Am I wrong?

Thoughts?
