Fishing Net for Pike
How big a landing net should i buy to land 40 inch pike. I want a
minimal size net since it is bothersome to carry around a salmon size net. The
nets that are sold quote sizes but how does that relate to the size of the
fish. I know there is a few pike anglers in the group.
This is off topic because the size of the landing net is not relevant to bass
fishing. |

| What do you need a net for? if your a man you will lip the sucker Al, you need a net that's depth is at least 2/3 the length of the fish,
this is minimum. Can you do the math, or do I need to do it for you. Or
Save your money and cut one leg out of a pair of panty hose, put a
wire frame and handle on it, use both legs and you can land two pike at
a time

I could do the math but i'll let you. Please take into account the opening size
of the net since the fish could be angled within the net. Maybe you could
create a function using the depth and circumference opening as variables. Then
i could plug in the stock values to get the correct size net. Thanks.. |

| I think I will let you instead,, I'm busy, and I don't care, I use a
huge net that can handle 50# + catfish, and I carry this net on my
little fishing kayak, every northern I've caught I just stuck my fingers
in it's gill slit, and lifted out |

Okay i'll do the math. Let the fish be 42 inches. Two thirds is 28 inches.
Using the pythagoras theorem 28^2=depth^2+diameter^2 Looking at this equation a 20 to 24 inch diameter net should do just fine. |

| I used euclidian type analytical geometry rather than spherical geomerty. I
thought the error margin justified a less rigorous approach to the problem. |
