Torium50 i apologize that that particular throw wasn't up to your standards, but to correct you, that is in fact a 6 foot net, (i understand that nets are measured by radius) if you look at the first part of the video you will see that when i stretch out the net it is as long as I am tall (I am exactly 6 foot) for your comment about it being 4 foot to be correct it would require me to be 4 foot as well, so if your going to diss someone get your facts strait first, thanks for your comment

oh and Rowan135 to answer your question about what my best catch is, thats actually a difficult question to answer, now granted some of these are illegal to keep when caught in a castnet, but ill list a few of my better catches

largemouth bass- 4 pounds (illegal to keep)

common carp- 10 pounds

alligator gar- 3 1/2 feet long

stingray- 2 foot wingspan

threadfin shad- over 100 in an 8 foot net

just to name a few, throwing a castnet is a new adventure every time, you never know what you will get!

Thanks for the tip on throwing. Any fisherman worth thier salt will admit... You can't throw Perfect every time. At least you took the time. Give a man a fish... feed him for a day. teach a man to fish... feed him for life. Also, there will always be at least one idiot in every crowd. As sure as every cast aint perfect. Thank you again

i was just going through youtube checking out fishing vids and found this, its a cool way, but from your display the net doesnt go that far, so, i dont know, but you got a good list of fish there that you cought, i cought the biggest alligator gar ive ever seen out here in the bayou, it was 6 and half feet long, i took A picture of it and soon its gonna be up on a vid with all the fish i cought this summer

1. net didnt open all the way

2. it is a 4ft net not an 8...nets are measured by their radius not diameter...god job trying to make people think you can throw a big net
