If you don't have a net big enough, try a plastic garbage bag to scoop him out. Lower the water level as much as possible to imobilize him. I have heard of people using pillowcases and towels, too, but I have had luck with a bag. Be prepared to wear fish water.
Once you get him scooped up, transfer him to a cooler. Do this asap, because he won't have a hard time puncturing the bag. Once in the cooler, throw in a battery powered air stone.
It sounds easy, but your gonna have fun!
Good luck!
