Bottling my IIPA tomorrow and I used a doodoo load of whole Amarillo hops. Any suggestions on racking to bottling bucket without getting clogged up?

I've heard of people making a filter that fits over the end of the racking cane using either a clean stainless steel scrub pad or a mesh hop bag. I've never tried either method so I can't tell you how well this might work.
The hops are floating, right? If so, just siphon from underneath the hops.
I always bag my dry hops,whether pellet or raw. Then squeeze'em through a fine mesh strainer going into the bottliing bucket,but at the surface of the beer. I only do this method with raw hops,as they soak up a lot of ale.
