How to catch a large fish in a reef tank

[Scavenger]

you can easily remove the hook from the fish without having to touch the fish.
Have needlenose plyers on hand, then pinch hook in plyers and hold fish over collection bucket, turn hook upside down, fish slides right off. I've release uncounted fish this way while fishing and very rarely are they hurt in the least.

I have to agree, taking a barbless hook out is easy with needlenose pliers. I would recommend wearing rubber gloves though incase you subconsciously go to grab the fish :P

Fish Traps work extremely well and are not very hard to build. I used an empty jug that ARM media came in and a piece of acrylic scrap for the sliding door.

I have used it a number of times and have lent it out to others who have used as well.

I will try and post a picture later.
