Did I say it was you lol?
nope :grinno: I actually moved a pair of clown knives around 23 or so inches for a friend we used a fishing net... (from cod fishing this was in monterey)
Later on we moved his Channel Cat and big ass pacu with a net. If I were to do it again id research the best method im not sure the fishing net was the best way.
 
Big catfish are the worst...strong as an aro and nasty spines. I had one take the side off a styo box.

Damn!
We had to untangle his poor pleco from a net later on that blew.
 
Not sure why she was grabbing the tail.

Other than that, I think she was very careful and just got unlucky with the bag.
 
I think it was a guy....That was rediculous ROFL when the aro darted well like an Arrow out of the bag....I'd use a pillow low water and well not film....Umm, that "7000" gallon tank looks like an LFS with rescue fish
 
Im sure it's fine, my 30"er once leap straight out the tank, went about 10 feet across the room, rebounded off a wall and fell behind the gas fireplace. Took me about 5 minutes to get him out.
