Start out with
?barplot
Then please tell us what your "issues" are. The barplot function is
pretty flexible.
If I guess that you are having difficulty simultaneously plotting one
set of stacked bars and another set of non-stacked bars next to them, I
would recommend two approaches.
One is to play with
> barplot(first_stuff)
> par(new=TRUE)
> barplot(second_stuff)
The other, and probably better, approach, is to write your data of
interest into a new matrix with some zeroes added to certain columns,
and use the "beside=FALSE" argument to barplot().

I have 9 total pairs. I would like to be able be able to make a barplot
by pair that shows the catch of the control net (kept & discard) stacked
with the catch of the experimental net also stacked by species like the
image below I did in excel.

I can make barplots by net and pair, but I would like to have both nets
on one barplot if possible.
