| 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?
Of all the things I have lost, I miss my mind the most.

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.
