$5 grocery store fish trap, duh.... it's fishing time

Was grocery shopping and saw this sitting on the shelf and it hit me, especially with the built in hinge. Less than $5, a little hot glue, fishing line and a chunk of rock I had sitting around for a weight. Figured Ironracing might want a cheap alternative, you just have to wait it out and be ready to drop the line...as I'm doing sitting on my couch behind the trap hoping it works. Just be sure to weigh the inside down so it doesn't float and drop in some thawed fish parts.

Mine is a different design but the same principle. If you leave it in the tank for a week or so and feed the fish from the trap all the time they get very comfortable with the trap. The problem becomes only getting one fish in the trap at a time.
