ABSTRACT:
The device includes a handle portion (10) and a spaced hook portion (11) to present a fish retention pocket (12). The hook portion (11) and the handle portion (10) present straight sides (16, 17) diverging from the pocket bottom (14) to provide a wider open space (S) between the handle portion (10) and hook portion (11) at a distal end (15) of the hook portion (11) than the closed space (WB) at the bottom (14) of the pocket (12). The hook portion (11) extends along a hook axis (A) from an arm portion (13) to the distal end (15) and tapers inwardly. The straight side (16) of the handle portion (10) is parallel to the hook axis (A). The hook portion (11) has the cross section of an I beam with parallel upper and lower transverse flanges (18) centrally interconnected by a center web (19) with the flanges (18) and the center web (19) tapering inwardly toward the distal end (15).
