Blow darts with poison! i use a large net and a 15g bucket to move bigger fish but the biggest ive had to move is a 18" pacu
Anyone in the UK can go buy a ready-made carp sling, they are available in various sizes at reasonable cost and do the job fine with fish up to at least 1m in length. I think someone else has mentioned that similar products are available across the Atlantic for safely handling large but delicate fish like Muskies.
I need to move some mid sized fish today.
Do I just grab a pillow case out of the closet or do you guys go buy fresh new ones?
Just wondering because I know the rinse cycle is meant to get the detergent out but they still smell like laundry soap afterwards so I was kinda wondering.....

I would simply wash the pillow case out really well so that detergent, fabric softner and whatnot gets rinsed out.
Another thing I do after I drain half the tank is leave the pillow case floating around in the tank for a few minutes. The fish get comfortable with it, knowing that its not dangerous or a threat. This makes pillow casing the fish easier IMO.
