if you got a big one You could use somthin like a muskie hoist I'm not sure if that is what they call it. but it is a flat piece of vinly material that on both ends it has wooded poles so it can stay afolt it is desgin to keep netting up to 7 foot muskie's cradleing them in and out of the water without hurting them. I planning to get one for my redtail is big and because it is tooo darn powerful to handle with just a simple net. (i don't want it hurt that is my baby..)(You might need 2 people for a moster?)

i throw flashbang first then when theyre blinded... SPALASSSH!!!
works like a charm!
my buddy had a pacu in his pond and it was absolutley huge. bigget fish ive ever seen. we tried to use a pool net. it bit the pool net and went down while i was holding the net. it broke my wrist because it bent it all the way down. we ended up using a trashcan attached to a pole. it took three guys to get it out of that pond.
Try a Koi site . Those folks often move 3 ft fish to go to shows a few days. I have heard some Koi get accustomed to the frequent netting , and some don't.
For the long fish I use a cradle. It has two 3/4 inch abs pipes and some soft fabric to make it just slip it under and put the pipes together and you have him. This is the same idea. http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=47599&stc=1&d=1160324607
I just bought a 40" sock net to move my 30" rtc x tsn, and all his friends. I'll post pics when I move them. Should be quite hilarious.
I finally got out my Synodontis but then i remembered, how should i measure it? What should i do? I don't want to hurt it. Should i lay it on the table then put a ruler under it, or is there a better way? Please help!
