Location: Musky Tackle Online, MN | The bigger the better as long as you have room for it in your boat. I have Frabill's Big Kahuna which is the biggest one they make. Although it takes up a lot of space in the boat, I wouldn't want anything smaller. It'll net the biggest fish and it works great as an in the water livewell when working on the fish over the side of the boat.

Location: Land of the Musky | Frabill's Big Kahuna is a good one. I had the Frabill cradle but did not care for it as much.

Location: Hayward, WI | I use the Frabill that's one size smaller than the big Kahuna, I think it's the Big Game Powercatch 8425. I think the hoop measures 31x41 inches. It's been big enough for fish up to 48 inches. The Big Kahuna would be AWESOME, but I would have to see what it was like to handle it alone first. Mine seems heavy enough to use with one arm, but on the other hand the Kahuna is so big that even if your aim was off a little you'd have a hard time missing a fish with it.

| I have both the kahuna and the power catch, and find myself using the kahuna more and more its a little big at first but once you get used to it its really hardly noticeable compared to the power catch. Its a huge in the water livewell that is really good at allowing the fish to stay upright without having the fish bent in half like some of the smaller nets out there, for the fishes care nothing beats the kahuna. One tip I have done and many others have done also is keep the net open and lay it over the motor or over the butt seat it doesnt seem to take up as much room this way. |

Location: Madison WI | I've got the Frabill big game powercatch, I would have the big kahuna if it would only fit in my car. Its a great net and will have no problem putting a 50" in it. It is a bit on the heavy side for netting by yourself but it gets the job done and I haven't lost one by myself yet. |
