I always get some funny looks walking along the Passaic with my big landing net, but this is exactly why I do it. It makes the fish easier to land in some places where the banks get steep, and I like leaving the fish in the water without having to worry about him while I get my phone and release tools ready for pictures
I'm not too sure where it originally came from, but I think you guys might enjoy this:
