I believe the answer is:

net

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'catch' is the definition.
(I know that net is a type of catch)

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for net that I've seen before include "What separates court opponents" , "Meshwork" , "After expenses" , "Catch -- after all deductions" , "Fish-catching mesh" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
