I second the eggcrate. I use two sheets, twist tie them together, coax the fish to a corner of your tank by using two nets to scare him out of his spot. Then once I got the fish down on the corner I slam down the eggcrate. This makes it easier to catch the fish since there is no rocks and no place for him to hide. Use a wide net to scoop him up. Still takes time and patience though. I know its frustrating.

If you still haven't catch him by the time I get back to Calgary, I will bring my eggcrate sheets, nets and we will catch him.
