Yes you can [I think]...... just got to do it right.

Get the fishes head in the net with end of the handle pointing up. Grab the tail with one hand and lift the net with the other..... keeping the end of the handle pointing up [not horizontal].

Never caught a 50 pounder to try this out. Works for a 30# fish.
