| I have this big 5in. treble hook with a about a pound of lead around the shank and was wondering if it was legal to land a fish off a pier in alabama and Florida. Or is it considered snaging. I bought it off a kid in Calif and it was against the law there like every thing else.

Bringing back an old topic.
Would a cheap crab net work, the collapsible ones you can buy for like $2, they are about 3ft in diameter and just have it dropped in the water (hell you can even throw a chicken leg in there while your waiting) then when you want to land one, guide it the fish over and pull him up with the crab net?

Yes, a hoop net used for crabs does a great job of landing fish on the pier. That's what I use on the pier at Four Season's in Orange Beach.

Good call. I didn't catch the $2. I would not trust much of anyting that was only two dollars. I use Promar Deluxe hoop nets. They have never failed me.
