you can also tell them to simply move the net very slowly. or keep one net still and
move the fish toward it with another.

Actually, a WET hand is better than a net, it is less likely to strip scales or slime
coat. best is to use your hand to move a fish towards the plastic bag.

fish and reach into the net with their hands to grab the fish and
place in bag etc etc.Thats a no no, as is any time a fish hits the
floor or touches bare hands I tellem to forget it that your no longer
interested........and then go turn em in to the manager (not that they
will always do anything about it though)
