    Those days I even use a plastic strainer colander instead of a net for drop and flop method lol.

    strainer is cool, doesn't hurt lettuce should be gentle to fish. Can't think of any drawbacks and have been concerned with using hands, severe nerve damage so very little feeling, just my luck I would manage to drop a fish.
