That is a good thought there aqua, and 200 lbs. Thats for the 78 incer big boy that will be on my wall next year right :}
Acctully I wouldent have the heart to keep a fish that big. But all this talk got me looking around and another Idea I did see was that if your going to be fishing heavey and hard and using this net also take a piece a rope about 3 feet and tie it to the net its self then to you rope ancors on your boat. Good idea considering the way them fish can splish and splash you and knock it out of your hand. And with the sinkers on there it might make it go down that much faster.
Now here is sme I thought about though. get some of the black tube pipeing and use it instead of wood or pvc. fill the pipe with foam so it will float and then cap them off. and paint the caps reflecter orange if you do anynight fishing. that way in the odd event you loose it it can be found. I know it might not happen but how much does the paint cost anyways. not much. Just a thought.
