You'll have to either make a trap, buy a trap, or remove rock and corner
him with a few nets. Do you have somebody that can come help. It's
always good to have two people running nets. It's alot easier to corner
him with two nets.

Default Catching Fish

Some guy is selling plans on ebay for a fish catcher, I googled and basically
its like this. Cut the top off a 2 liter bottle right above the label. Take
that piece, turn it upside down and stick it back into the bottom. From =] to
=]. Throw some food in there, sink it, and let the fish get accustomed to it,

then hungry hehe.

I have'nt had the need to try it but it sounds like it would work.

That might work for a Dottyback but, if you had a bigger fish would you
then cut the opening (the threaded part with the cap) wider? Say if you were
trying to catch a tang or something larger?
