Nope doesn't count. Sorry. No skill in catching fish that way.

That's amazing! Great catch in a cast net! Not sure if it counts either but I wouldn't know But a Jack is a Jack and I'd be happy with that!

Cheers,
Dorado

Yep it counts. cast netting is just another form of fishing. Plus you saw the bigger fish on the sounder so it was not blind luck.

i myself feel like it doesnt count would much rather the pull on the rod than the pull in a net!!!

[Flattie Assassin]

Good onya fella. You know what feels right.

[chrisallangler]

I agree with you and Flattie Assassin i don't think it count's but yes it would be good to get it on the rod. Cheers Chris

over legal size with a legal method, yep it counts if no rules are set

shoulda stuck a hook in its gob and threw it back, retreive it, then it would've counted lol

i have caught a nice jack in the net and they guys i was with said to keep it,no way i said,no sport in that,so i let him go,but still a nice effort to sound it out,but my opinion doesnt count, you didnt do anything illegal and you had evry right to keep him but great to see you let him go,top stuff

[nuggstar]

nup, no, no way. dose not count (still a nice bugger, well done ) cast net fish dose not count. good luck on getting one on ya line

Its your call whether it counts or not. Are you comfortable claiming bragging rights?

The barra caught at Bribie was caught in a castnet, and it got counted by all reporters as a legitimate catch.

You decide.
