Another trick is the late night flashlight netting. Turn off all your tank and room lights, wait for a few hours until everyone in the tank has gone to sleep. Then sneak in with a flashlight and a net. Most of the time you can flashlight the fish you want to catch and net them easily since the flashlight blinds/confuses them so they don't see the net coming.

Fishing pole and a hook! That would be the funnest way! LOL!......... get a large fish bag put it in the tank and trick him into it. Thats the best way to remove him without hurting his fins. GL
but i guess thats not ur point 
just funny see alot of ppl thinking that theyr fish is sleeping.Two nets is definitely the best way. Also, not sure if its just my fish, but I have a red net that seems to work so much better. The material is the same(holes are a bit larger). But I don't think the fish see it as well. Only problem I have with it is other fish thinking they want to be caught, and they just swim right in there. Except the one I am going for of course.
Fish do however go into a hypnotic state similar to sleep, bt they have no eyelids and stay alert to sudden movement
i usually catch my fishes when they are feeding i would scoop them real quick. I tell ya catching fishes in a big tank thats longer than your arm sucks!
