       2 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein said fishing net is compressed by contacting a connector portion of said fishing net portion against said first boat anchoring connector, pressing on said fishing net to cause said fishing net to at least partially compress, and then allowing said fishing net to expand into said second boat anchoring connector.  
   
   
       3 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein said fishing net portion is provided with a pin connector configured to cooperate with and connect to said first boat anchoring connector, and said telescoping handle is provided with a pin connector configured to cooperate with and connect to said second boat anchoring connector.  
   
   
       4 . A system according to  claim 2 , wherein said fishing net portion is provided with a connector pin configured to cooperate with and connect to said first boat anchoring connector, and said telescoping shaft is provided with a connector pin configured to cooperate with and connect to said second boat anchoring connector.  
   
   
       5 . A system according to  claim 1 , wherein said telescoping handle is releasably connected to said fishing net portion.  
   
   
       6 . A system according to  claim 5 , wherein said telescoping handle is releasably and slidably connected to said fishing net portion so that at least of portion of said telescoping handle once released can be slide into a hoop of said net portion.  
   
   
       7 . A system according to  claim 3 , wherein said first and second boat anchoring connectors are each defined by a loop fastener configured to cooperate with and connect to each said pin connector.  
   
   
       8 . A fishing net system, comprising: 
 a fishing net, including:    a handle portion; and    a fishing net portion connected to said handle portion; and    a boat anchoring device connected to a boat, said boat anchoring device being a pair of spaced apart boat anchoring connectors connected to said boat, said fishing net configured to releasably connect to said boat when said fishing net is a least partially compressed between said boat anchoring connectors and then allowed to expand into said boat anchoring connectors to make a male/female securing connection therebetween.    
   
   
       9 . A system according to  claim 8 , wherein said handle portion is configured to compress for attaching said fishing net to said boat.  
   
   
       10 . A system according to  claim 9 , wherein said handle portion is a telescoping handle portion, including a first shaft section slidably disposed within a second shaft section.  
   
   
       11 . A system according to  claim 10 , wherein said telescoping handle portion includes a spring for biasing said first shaft section out of said second shaft section, and a stop to limited said first shaft section extending out of said second shaft section.  
   
   
       12 . A system according to  claim 8 , wherein said fishing net portion is configured to resiliently compress to connect or release said fishing net to or from the boat.  
   
   
       13 . A system according to  claim 12 , wherein a hoop of said fishing net portion is configured to resiliently compress to connect or release said fishing net to or from the boat.  
   
   
       14 . A system according to  claim 8 , wherein both said handle portion and said fishing net portion are configured to resiliently compress to connect or release said fishing net to or from the boat.  
   
   
       15 . A system according to  claim 8 , wherein said boat anchoring device includes a first boat anchoring connector configured to cooperate with and releasably connect to said fishing net, and a second boat anchoring connector configured to cooperate with and connect to said telescoping handle for releasably connecting said fishing net to said boat.  
   
   
       16 . A system according to  claim 11 , wherein said boat anchoring device includes a first boat anchoring connector configured to cooperate with and connect to a first handle connector provided on said first shaft section of said handle portion, and a second boat anchoring connector configured to cooperate with and connect to a second handle connector provided on said second shaft section of said hand portion for releasably connecting said fishing net to said boat.  
   
   
       17 . A system according to  claim 8 , wherein said boat anchoring device includes a first boat anchoring connector configured to cooperate with and connect to said fishing net portion, and a second boat anchoring connector configured to cooperate with and connect to said handle portion for releasably connecting said fishing net to said boat.  
   
   
       18 . A system according to  claim 13 , wherein said boat anchoring device includes a first boat anchoring connector configured to cooperate with and connect to said fish net portion, and a second boat anchoring connector configured to cooperate with and connect to said handle portion for releasably connecting said fishing net to said boat.  
   
   
       19 . A system according to  claim 14 , wherein said boat anchoring device includes a first boat anchoring connector configured to cooperate with and connect to a first handle connector provided on said handle portion, and a second boat anchoring connector configured to cooperate with and connect to said net portion for releasably connecting said fishing net to said boat.  
   
   
       20 . A system according to  claim 8 , wherein said boat anchoring device includes a pair of spaced apart loop connectors provided on said boat and configured to cooperate with and releasably connect to a pair of spaced apart pin connectors attached to said fishing net portion and said handle portion, respectively.
