Hope you have a lot of nets. Snappers will rip right threw the nets in seconds. I have used nets 2or 3 times and they always rip even on the smallest of snappers. Good luck

we use a net to avoid hurting the animals...some say you can kill them by holding them up by the tail.(they will die later like pinning a rattle snake down behind the neck)..i think if your careful it's probably o.k..but just to play it safe we use a net..and a nets a net..there cheap at walmart...thanks...billy

yea grabing them by the tail will hurt them. i grab them by the sides of the shell. i do not have the extra funds for a new net 3 times a day lol but if it works for you.
