how do fishing nets work?

607 views

I just saw an r/oddlysatisfying video of a guy throwing a giant fishing net in slow motion and it occurred to me that I don’t know how they work. Like I see how throwing it spreads it out but how do fish actually get trapped in a flat net? Is there some mechanism that closes it up?

the edges are weighted down, so the net just falls to the bottom, and then the fisher man reels it back up. and a bunch of fish are caught inside of it. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pchtdyhv0ok](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pchtdyhv0ok)
