ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A tool for more effectively gripping and handling fish which includes a generally cylindrical tubular housing defining a handle having a hand grip thereon with a pair of pivotal gripping jaws actuated by a slidable sleeve that is spring biased away from the handgrip by two light coil springs to enable the sleeve to be retracted by the use of one finger or thumb of the hand which is used to grip the handgrip in order to open the jaws. The jaws, when open, are placed over the bottom lip of the fish and the sleeve is released with the light spring causing the jaws to grip the lip of the fish in order to lift the fish. The jaws include a pin and cam slot connection between the sleeve and jaws with the weight of the fish causing the jaws to more tightly grip the lip of the fish. The tubular housing includes a spring scale incor- porated into the end thereof remote from the jaws which enables the user of the tool to weigh the fish without injury by supporting the tool and fish in suspended relation from a handle connected with a spring biased shaft having a graduated weight indicating scale thereon. 18
