I am referring to a Fox carp Sack in post 38, not the retention sling.

Yep I also will use sacks !
Always have and always will ! But only if it's special and I try to do it for the shortest time possible !
Personally not ever had a problem !

Not a particularly helpful post...
Sacks are only as dangerous as the peeps who use them incorrectly. (That's not aimed at you btw.)

From my experience rules are there to protect the fish and lake from the muppets out there, and unfortunately, due to a boom in this wonderful past time, there's more muppets now than ever.
One thing that does bug me though, is that there are people at the top who promote returning a fish straight away so as to "not stress them out", that's fine, but you've just stuck a piece of metal in their lip and dragged them out of their home!? I Imagine that's pretty stressful! But if I might play devils advocate here, I can't see why you'd need to sack a fish anymore? Photographing a fish couldn't be easier nowadays, and if its just for half an hour or so whilst you wait for a mate to arrive or the light to improve, or maybe even for the rain to stop, then securing the net in the lakes edge is more than good enough.
