Nets are for smaller fish.
A keeper like that should be gaffed.
If giffed in the lip they can still be released.

Fishing solo that afternoon,
I couldn't get the cap off the gaff point and hold his head up.
It is all good, I purchased a great new net at Reel Life and I 'm ready for the fluke.

When me and my buddy Pat started to get serious about Striper fishing he came over one day with a MONSTER sized net. I started bustin on him about "what did he think he was gonna net with that", yada,yada...

Then we went out bunker spoonin and hooked into a 27 lb striper. We were real glad of the net then. A week later he came over with a gaff...
