Throwing a 10-foot cast net can seem daunting due to its size and weight, but with Captain Tim's easy technique, you can master it by distributing the weight evenly over your body. It's actually easier to throw a big cast net vs a small cast net.

This method involves splitting the net into thirds, which makes even the heaviest nets manageable to throw.

Here's a step-by-step guide to help you get started:

1. **Preparation**: Start by finding a spacious area near the water where you can practice without obstacles. The grass of a yard will work, however do not throw on the cement as you will damage the shape of the leads.

2. **Inspect the Net**: Clear the net of any tangles. It's important to fix any issues before you start throwing, as they can affect your throw's effectiveness.

3. **Gathering the Net**: Pick up the net by the horn (the center part where all the lines converge) and shake it gently to let the weights settle evenly. Hold the horn with one hand and gather the lead line (the bottom edge of the net weighted with lead) so the net forms thirds. The idea is to create three equal sections of the net to manage its weight better.

4. **Loading the Net**: Once you've divided the net into thirds, load it onto your body. Hold one-third of the net in your throwing hand and another third across your non-throwing arm and shoulder. This distribution helps manage the net's weight, making it easier to throw.

5. **The Throw**: Face your target area in the water. Shift your weight to your back foot, then step forward with your throwing arm leading. Swing the net outwards and release it in a smooth motion. Use the gravity of the lead propel the net out in front of you.

6. **Practice**: It might take a few tries to get the hang of it, especially the motion required to get the net to open fully. Don't get discouraged—practice is key. Start with shorter throws and gradually increase your distance as you become more comfortable. Less is more.

7. **Retrieval**: Once the net settles and sinks, pull it in slowly by the hand line. It's important to give the net time to sink beneath the fish before you start pulling it in to ensure a good catch.

Remember, the key to this technique is distributing the weight of the net across your body and mastering the throw motion. With practice, you'll find that even a 10-foot cast net can be managed with ease using this method. Tight Lines and great fishing!
