The first time I saw this net, I wondered,”How on earth do you catch a fish using a net with solid sides, a short handle and one that with a large hole at the end!”
It’s actually a fantastic way to transfer large fish from one tank to another (see blog on moving large fish also – https://thefishvet.wordpress.com/2012/02/08/how-to-move-large-fishes/) because the solid cloth sides allows you to transport the fish in a small amount of water and the fish never loses scales or gets tangled in it. The mesh material allows the handler to drain the net and the open end allows the fish to slide out easily.
Simply ingenious!
