need a live trap for a pleco

[gatica17]

I live in Costa Rica and have a1,100 gallon tropical pond on my back patio. It is heavily planted and landscaped with rock and natural wood (lots of holes for hiding). I need to get an 8" pleco out as he is destroying my plants, even though I feed zucchini daily and he is growing daily. I have a pond to relocate him into, but need an idea of how to make a live trap to catch him. Would appreciate any help you can give me.

Some kind of pvc pipe or bottle?

Snorkel and a big net? lol

Go pro+zucini and algae wafers in a tube?

ummmmmm they like to hid in caves and stuff so maybe you could get him hiding in a tube or something with nothing in it, slip a cover over the end pull it out and see?
