Explanation

If your net is spread out widely enough, it'll be covering everything. You're going to have to spread it out really, really far, though.

網羅 is a relatively formal word that means "covering" in the metaphorical sense, like an exhaustive list or a reference document encompassing all the information in a particular field. It gives off a strong feeling of "wow, they really got it all!" or even a proud "yep, I covered it all" kind of vibe.
