Netting Bass?

Just curious how you guys net a partners bass. Fishing alone you basically guide her in, but when your buddies fish is in your hands to land her how do you net it? . Do you put the net in water and guide the fish in or do you scoop last second? Largemouth seem a bit easier, but smallies on light tackle or skin hooked by a single hook on a jerkbaits are unpredictable.

I kind of stab into the water in front of the fish and guide it in. I find having the net already in the water makes it hard to manoeuvre.

Largies we kind of swim them into the net. Smallies it's more of a fast scoop.

Crane em all... :lol:

For me it's always a quick scoop at the end, I don't let the angler guide the fish to me. If I can get the net at it, she goes in. Most of the time.. :lol:
