How do you folks do it?
For me, it is a tricky, time consuming process of cornering the fish so that it ends up adhered to the tank above the water line, whereby I use a blunt BART card and gently "transfer" the fish on to said card by touching the card to the snout region. The fish then usually moves onto the card.

I just grab the large ones with thumb and forefinger just in front of the pec fins on the side of their head and move them with a small bucket underneath in case I drop them. I also coax them into pipe and net the entire pipe with them inside. I do not net them as this is bad for nets and more importantly the fish. I like the card trick but it could be dangerous to the mouth unless you are gentle. Good idea.
