ABSTRACT:
A fish dehooking device is provided with a rigidly holdable T-shaped handle and a long rod with a smoothly-bent angled section at the opposite end for removing fishhooks from any depth within a fish. An optional enlarged spreader section of the rod is provided as a wedged base for removing the fishhooks and for preventing dislodged fishhooks being removed from puncturing intestinal sections or air bags that would lower the quality of the meat of the fish. The enlarged spreader section also allows fishhooks to be removed from the mouths of larger fish that have strong jaws and dangerous teeth. A method of using this device allows the holding and placing of hooked fish without contacting the fish or sharp projections on some types of fish.
