    I just used a net, knocked over everything in my tank, had a beer.

    Took everything out of my tank...domino hid between the heater tube and the glass, had another beer.

    Removed heater tube...the chase was on. Domino got between the intake tube and the glass, had another beer.

    Retrieved 2nd net, splashed about a gallon of water on the floor, another gallon on me...had another beer.

    Domino looking tired...I'm looking toasty. LFS is 4 miles away....hmmmm, crack another beer.

    Domino was tired. I got him on the first try....forgot to prep a container with tank water. Let him go, prep container...more beer.

    Pee break.

    Staring match between me and Domino....he wins... More beer...

    The "Big Chase" ensued. I win...I think. Tank water is cloudy from stirring up substrate, I can't quite see straight....Domino in net...can't find container. "HONEY!!! HELP!!!" (that always works...Why didn't I think of that before?)

    Domino out of tank, carpet is wet, it looks like I wet my pants, (I may have by now...who knows?), and wife drives me and fishy to LFS for a trade in.

    Mission accomplished!

    duck, i'm crying over here!! it reminds me of the man and woman way to change oil in your car... basically, long story short, woman goes to the oil change place, and buys a cup of coffee, the man, however decided to do it himself, burns his hands on hot oil, loses skin from knuckles, drinks a case of beer, test drive, pulled over by cop, go to jail, make bail, get car from impound lot, etc. etc... but dang, your method for catching a fish just made me laugh so hard i'm hurtin!
