I have a multi-piece net/gaff combination that is nearly 4 meters long.

Another option is a yabbie net with extra rope tied to the existing rope on the net.

I have netted salmon, snapper, morwong, bonito, even kings and tuna using this method.

Some people do eat them, but I think they are tougher flesh and need a lot of flavouring while cooking unlike the gummies … I never tried them though
