Yes it does look like one. I just pull it up on shore, net what I want, then throw it back out. The greenies get their tail fins cut off.
Snrub one of the online pond supply places has nets very similar to these, and I thought they were a bit expensive, so I made that one out of irrigation tubing and noodles, which I already had. The netting is available at any commercial net store by the foot, so they can be made any diameter, and with any net size you want. I've got about $30 in this one, including the netting. I'm not sure I would keep fish in it for any length of time, but it does work well for what I'm wanting.
