ABSTRACT:
A fishing device including a pair of opposed first and second arms pivotally connected at a pivot to move between an open position and a closed position. The first arm has a first jaw head at one end and the second arm has a second jaw head at one end. The first and second jaw heads have opposed inside gripping surfaces and further having opposed cutting blade portions that cut in said closed position. A latch is connected to the arms for holding the arms in the closed position and releasing the arms for pivotal movement away from one another to an open position. A first pair of opposed first and second transverse grooves along the inside of the first and second jaw heads forms a line tie hole usable in tying a knot in a fishing line. A second pair of opposed transverse grooves along the inside of said first and second jaw heads at the front end forms an eyelet threading hole through which a line will pass to thread an eyelet held in said grooves by the first and second jaw heads in the closed position. A line guide member on one of the arms is used to engage the line to guide said jaws with the pair of jaw heads gripping a hooked fish to release the fish.
