/

Everyone has heard the old phrase “All fishermen are Liars”. Every Fisherman may even be somewhat guilty of this rumor given to them just by simply exaggerating the size of their fish. Coming back from that trip to the mountains with nothing but a story of the biggest fish you have ever caught without proof or a witness…no-one is going to believe you. Well, with the CatchCamNet you can never be called a liar again. Every fish you land, you will now have proof. Every fish can be filmed as you land it, pose a pic of the fish, get a selfie with your catch or get a great shot of releasing it back into the water. This net was designed for Practicality, Versatility and of course style. It is much more than just a net that helps land your fish, it gives you convenient proof that you did. So never be called a liar again, buy yourself a Catch Cam Net and have proof of every catch.

Released in 2016, their Patent Pending design gives you the ability to mount an action camera or a cell phone (with the proper case) right to the net. This allows you to easily get footage or a quick picture of your fish every catch. This also captures four angles that are essentially impossible to get any other way.  

  1. The Land: when the fish is coming into the net as you land it.
  2. The Trophy shot: After the fish is in the net itself.
  3. The Selfie: You can turn the camera around and use it as a selfie stick and pose with your fish.
  4. The Release: As your returning the fish back into the water.
