"The Kingdom of heaven is like unto a net that was cast into the sea, and gathered of every kind." Like the parable of the Tares, earlier in Matthew 13, this parable refers to the final judgment.

Gillnet – fishing nets constructed so that fish are entangled or enmeshed, usually in the gills, by the netting.

A surrounding net is deployed by a fishing boat that starts sailing in a circle. This allows for the net to come all the way around 360 degrees to completely surround the fish. This makes it so that there is no escape for the fish. There are floating buoys on the top of the net and weights on the bottom of the net to make sure that it forms a wall.
