ABSTRACT:
The present invention provides pliers for safely gripping the lower lip of a fish in a manner which protects the fish from harm and enables handling of the fish by tending to compress a pressure point common in many fish and by enabling the mouth of the fish to be propped open for hook removal without direct contact between the fish and the fisherman, the fish gripping pliers having uniquely shaped handles which are secure and comfortable in the hand of the fisherman when in use and having C-shaped upper jaw with a tip which is perpendicular to the lower jaw upon closure and a lower jaw with an engaging surface that progresses toward its tip from a cylindrical portion to a convex forward portion with the tip thereof being rounded for engaging the flesh central to the mandible of the fish without injuring the same.
