lol i thought that was just my ottos, whenever i put them in a new tank or moved them to a QT they always stick to the net...its quite bothersome

Use a glass/tupperware box instead

i do that now, but catching them by hand aint easy

Use a net to chase the fish into the plastic box and to cover the top of the box while carrying fish to its new home so it won't jump out of the box. I use this method to transfer fish all the time now as it is easier to catch fish and less stressful for them than netting. Works especially well with larger specimens like goldfish and plecos.
