Since moving to Iowa have degenerated to catching chubs with my son's "Tweety Bird" pole ("Mom, can I have my pole back now?" "Just a minute, just let me land this one...") Catch and release of course, but the little buggers put up a fun little fight!
As to extracting foundation-less frames, even deeps, just spin them slow at first, turn them and spin them slow again, then you can up the RPMs to finish. It is the weight of the honey trying to push out from the opposite side that blows out the frames.
