Here are a couple of pictures of my net set up:

I think everyone's pretty much got it figured out, but since I like my net I'll show it off a little. It's 26 inches long, excluding the brass hardware. Like I said before the net bag actually gets soft and kind of slimy feeling when wet to protect the fish. The net is made by Alan Stevens of Patten, Maine. It's one of the nicest landing nets I've seen and only $45, but there are other models. Since Mr. Stevens does business primarily by word of mouth not many people have heard of them. I'm not affiliated with them at all, I just love my net.
