the only way to mak eit easier is to drain the pond or bait them with fish food and then take em out 1 by 1

Two nets, one large, one small.

Hold the large net still and use the smaller net to 'herd' them into it.

I ought to point out that taking fish from the wild is illegal, unless you have permission from the landowner. You must also never release them back into the wild once you have them, just in case they pick up any parasites or infections from plants/decor/non-native fish etc.
