go to wal-mart and buy the smallest fishing hooks you can find or heat up a sewing needle and make one then sit back with a beer and go fishing

The whole fishhook idea worked for me once. I had a damsel that I just couldn't catch in my 150. I tried a trap, with no success. It was a blue devil that had grown huge, like 3.5 inches. He was kicking my Flame Angels butt all over the tank. When it's $4 vs $50 the damsel had to go. Anyways, he was so agressive that I was able to snag him with a minow hook and some shrimp. You'll be glad to know that he has completely recovered and is doing fine in my buddies 220 reef with a load of other damsels.
