ABSTRACT:
A free floating fish catching device is provided having a large dimension, generally flat float structure having upper and lower surfaces. A connector projection extends upwardly from the central portion of the top surface and defines an aperture to receive one end of a swivel to which a fishing leader and hook are connected. The fish catching device is inverted by a biting fish to expose an attention attracting surface to provide an indication that a fish has been caught. A lifting loop is also provided to enable the device to be lifted from the water along with the fish. The inverted top surface of the device functions as a water brake to retard movement of the device by the fish and functions together with the leader connector element to cause a caught fish to swim in a circle rather than swimming away with the device.
