This is a fishing tool that does exactly what it says; it grabs a fish by its lower lip, lifts it out of the water, and even weighs the fish up to 20 lbs. This funny looking tool can be a replacement for the fishing net, or be used along side it, depending on the conditions. It can be used to secure the catch in the water or out of the net. Because of its short reach, the net is still the better choice for recovering the catch directly out of the water. However, once in side the boat, this new tool can safely handle the catch. The idea is the same as the ring on a bull's nose, hook up the lead rope and the 1500 lb. animal follows you gently, where ever you want to go. This tool clamps onto the bottom lip of the fish for complete and total control with out harming the fish. The intriguing part is the trigger mechanism. The trigger is a simple spring loaded trigger that clamps down upon release. The scissor like 'O' ring on the end is finished with rounded tips that not only looks like it will lock on to the fish, yet also allow will minimal damage for catch and release. The scissor like clamp opens with the simple trigger on a stainless steel rod about 18 inches long. Comparing this with a similar devise that acts like a pair of vise grips, it activates by releasing the trigger instead of pulling the handle closed. The slender compactness of the tool gets the fisherman closer to the catch making it easier to remove the hook while maintaining control and safety from the hook. Though as mentioned before, a net gives the fisherman more room to bring the catch safely in to the boat. Maintaining a grip on the tool in adverse conditions is important. The rubber grip on the end along with a wrist band helps maintain control and prevents the loss of the fish, and the tool. The grip looks to be modeled after many pieces of sports equipment including, ski poles and motor cycle handles. It is big enough to be able to use with both hands if needed. What you will see as you look at this tool is the remarkable ability to handle a fish with very little human contact. The more human touch on a fish, the more damage is done to the fish. For sport fisherman who believe in catch and release, this is a very important issue for the fish to survive when released back into the wild. The sturdy stainless steel construction of the Fish Lip Grip tool will last a long time, making it a good investment. This could also be looked at as a gimmick to put one more thing in the tackle box that is not really needed. This can go as a tool or a toy to show off to your fishing buddies.
