Have there ever been instances where a submarine was caught in a commerical fishing vessel's net?

Sort of. The larger military submarines are sufficiently powerful that it is more like they catch the trawler. Fishing vessels have taken significant damage from these encounters. A weak net will just break, but the big, strong commercial nets can cause the trawler to be dragged for some distance through the ocean before something gives. I have heard testimony on this from someone with personal experience in submarines, but I don't have an objective reference or document to cite. I don't doubt smaller subs have been caught in nets, but I don't have any references on that.
