Is there a way to remove hot tub filter without all the stuff breaking loose?

Seems like whenever I take out my hot tub filter, some of the stuff that is caught in the filter comes loose and gets back into the water as I unscrew it. Is there a trick to this? It is disheartening watching all that 'stuff' go back into the water, there has to be a better way to remove these filters and keep all the stuff in the filter...without it breaking loose and getting back into the hot tub water...?
 
I use a fish tank net from WalMart. About $20 bucks less than a purpose made hot tub one.



I keep it next to the tub at all times. If leaves or bugs get in, they get scooped.
