This isn't a bad thing. You guys got the fish back in the water first. Honestly, if that was my first salmon I'd be trying to get a picture first. You've got your priorities right!

You can build an extension for just about any big net so it can be used as a pier net. Fishfight would be the one to ask about this. I've seen it done with metal pipe and broom handles. Just need a hole through both and a clevis pin or something similar.
