I've always wondered why B.A.S.S. Elites are not allowed to use a net. It seems like if fish care is such a concern, it would only make sense for nets to be allowed.
Taking 5 to the weigh-in occurs when opportunity meets successful execution of one's preparation.

I like the no net rule too. Just seems right. Always looks weird when I watch an FLW tournament.

Since they always fish solo I don't see it happening. Netting a fish solo can be a adventure.

B.a.s.s. also used to limit the guys to so much weight wort of tackle (lures) in the bassmasters classic and Ray Scott would get to go through the guys tackle and take what he wanted to get them down to the correct weight of lures allowed...LOL...I can't remember what the limit was...so not allowing a net came from this time as well...

With the new nets there would be less damage to a fish compared to flipping a 4 lb fish and hitting the deck and carpet.

I think a 70mph run for 30 miles in a livewell full of fish is can be even more damaging. I agree though, the net restrains the fish from hurting itself more than flopping on carpet. It's amazing how tough bass are.

That's what cracks me up , the net is used and sometimes the bass still ends up on the deck .
