ABSTRACT:
A fish hook remover for dislodging a hook from the mouth of a fish, comprising a handle constructed of a buoyant material having a specific gravity sufficient to cause the fish hook remover to float; an elongated hook removing member attached to the handle, wherein the hook removing member includes a V-shaped tip adapted to engage a hook; a hand guard attached to the handle, wherein the hand guard includes an outer periphery that is larger than the cross-sectional area of the handle; and a line looping member formed on the hand guard. Preferably, the hook removing member is constructed from stainless steel, and the handle is constructed from a plastic material. Also, it is preferred that the hand guard is formed as an integral part of the handle, and that the handle is of a color which is highly visible. In one embodiment, the line looping member comprises a post formed by a pair of slots cut into the hand guard, wherein the post includes downwardly converging sides to prevent the line from separating from the post during operation.
