ABSTRACT:
A hand held device for disengaging a fish hook from a fish's mouth without the need to remove the fish from the water. The device comprises a through bored tubular body having a proximal end sized for manual gripping and a distal end sized for insertion into a fish's mouth, and also has a slot extending the length of the tubular body. The device is operated by aligning the slot with fishing line, which is taut from the pull of a fish line, and pushing it into the through bore. The fisherman then slides the device down the fishing line and engages the bend of the fish hook with the front edge of the device, and pushes abruptly. This releases the fish. Flanges, which are operable to inhibit accidental exit of a fishing line during the release process, extend from the both sides of the slot inwardly into through bore.
