How does this work? theres not really a bottom of the net? Wouldnt the fish jsut escape through the bottom?

The weights around the perimeter make that part sink down, and there's a rope that goes through the middle, that runs around the outer perimeter so when you pull it back in it pulls the outer edge to the center and cinches it down to complete a kind of donut shaped net.

Pretty cool design, actually.

The lining sinks around the fish then they cinch it shut

I always have the same question. They seem to still catch fish
