Using keepnets

I am still supprised at the amount of keepnets I see in use for pleasure
anglers. I understand the use of keepnets for match fishing but for
pleasure fishing just seems unecessary to me. The amount of large bream I
have seen, during my recent 10 day visit to the Broads, damaged by being
kept in keepnets was horrendous. I cannot remember the last time I used a
keepnet and I do not use one these days so why do some people still insist
on using them.
