ABSTRACT:
The symmetrically operating jaws of the fish gaff are movable between an open and cocked position and a closed fish engaging position. The jaws are normally urged to the closed position to thereby clampingly engage opposite sides of a fish positioned therebetween. A coil spring trigger is connected at opposite ends to medial portions of the jaws and extends in a straight line path across the space between the jaws when in the open and cocked position to maintain the jaws in the open position. The medial portion of the coil spring trigger is engageable by a fish in position between the open jaws so that the coil spring trigger is moved out of the straight line path and releases the jaws so that they are immediately free to clamp the fish therebetween.
