landing net

Angler's mesh scoop

A landing net is a handled net used to scoop fish from the water after they've been hooked and played out.

The net prevents the line from breaking under the fish's weight during the final lift.

Anglers keep one within reach: He grabbed the landing net as the trout tired.
