yes you shold do a serach on this post. but i will tell the way i caught mine, i just took all the lr out, you could try some food in a net you may half to set there a while though

An eel will catch him for you.
Use two nets one to herd him where you want him an the other to catch him.

I used an acrylic trap to catch a mean Blue Spot Watchman. I borrowed the trap from the LFS and returned it and the fish promtly. It works great, you just have to be very quick and patient. Check out your LFS and see if they have a trap for sale, or to borrow,HTH

How well does the fish know you. If he is use to regular feeding feed him and then stick the net in and wait . He will come up agin after u put the net in and BANG. gET HIM. iT WORKED FOR ME!

You should win an award, catching one of those little buggers can be difficult.
