Quick question, how are you going to move that 4’ arapaima? Your whole set up got me mind blown ?

He's been in there for a couple months now. I converted a huge old muskie net with an old trampoline mat to be much deeper and safer. Then as anticipated as soon as I put the net in the tank he ejected himself right by my head over my shoulder onto the floor. Sooo, I just threw a towel over him and trucked him to the garage lol.
Hahaha. U r correct. But I have multiple eyewitnesses. My buddy who was right next to me tried to catch him. Didn't happen. This was the 3rd time the fish has done this. He did it whenever I had to move rays in the past also. All I have to do is put a net in the water. Auto eject.I assume there is no documentation of that happening
Sounds like a 3 person job. 1 person dip a net in the water, and 2 stand out side of the pond with a big tarp to catch it mid flight.Hahaha. U r correct. But I have multiple eyewitnesses. My buddy who was right next to me tried to catch him. Didn't happen. This was the 3rd time the fish has done this. He did it whenever I had to move rays in the past also.

I seriously considered doing that with a bed sheet! Lmao. But the wife would've been the 3rd person, and she wasn't overly excited about helping. ?
Haha she just needs to dip the net. Then duck
My luck he would have smoked her right in the face. Lol
Man, I thought that was a rough move. I'm trying to move my big females right now, my biggest just snapped my net clean off as soon as i tried to lift her out of the water.
Ya they get super heavy when they cup water inside the net. I usually try to pour out the water with big ones because they can get bruised bellies from being moved in nets. Hard to support that end with a tail frantically whipping around lol
