I long ago purchased the largest hoop net that I could find with a collapsable handle after a tournament partner tried to kill me by knocking three, count them three, good keepers from my hook due to slapping at them with only a moderately sized net. After crying for several hours, I decided that I probably would not do well in prison, so I allowed him to live. He was actually a very nice guy and will get a kick out of this if he reads it. I went to Bass Pro Shop and purchased a really big net and nicknamed it “The Russ Net.” I continue to call it by the same name today. The net barely fits in the compartment with the handle going toward the rear compartment and the net hoop toward the opening. I also store my paddle in the same comarttment. It will surprize you how large a net the compartment will hold. The compartment is much larger than it looks. I thought I would have to retire the Russ Net, but the net lives on in infamy. Corky
