Use a net to ___

[Xinfu]

-I went over to a stall, under whose tent was a pool of water, in which there were many fish. I used a net-like tool, like a paw, to ___ several fish.

I know NET/SCOOP/DRAW, but not the exact verb used to refer to the act of sinking the tool into liquid and obtaining things by vertically pulling our your hand.

[poli]

to sink / to anchor

Thank you, but can these two verbs fill the blank?

[poli]

The word to fill in the blank is catch:good: but I don't think it would sound strange to say gather up.

[Rusty]

draw out
scoop up

Thank you~
