We used a trout hook and a bit of shrimp, if I remember correctly. When you set the hook, flip him out of the tank into a net and have a container ready. I'm sure husband will pop on here and share his tips - he's the one who managed to catch our 6" twinspot.

Ours was so greedy that he went right for it.
