Cool pictures.
What kind of hooks do you use?
Got any tips for landing them without stressing em out too much?
Just a 5/0 circle hook on a single drop rig. I net them with a large net (I use a Cuda) to spread their weight out, lay the net immediatley on the deck, pop the hook out, take a quick pic (have a camera prepped during the fight), and when releasimg, hold them by the tail and swim them ack and forth(not nose to tail, but how it swims) when they kick, they are ready to release. I have never lost a redfish like this. Watch a youtube video on the release. ?????
I need to get a big net.
I have had a few nets break on me before. I took the netting part of the last net I broke, and I welded up my own net frame for my current net. Got tired of bending and breaking nets.I need to get a big net.

Well if you pick up you fish like you do in that picture. almost all nets will break. you net the fish, turn it up right and pull it straight up into the boat.I have had a few nets break on me before.
