A device and method for retrieving a fish or other animal or object attached to a line includes a tube having a flexible wall extending between a distal end portion and a proximal end portion. The tube wall defines a tube aperture aligned with a central longitudinal axis, and includes a first longitudinal edge and a second opposed longitudinal edge, where at least one of the longitudinal edges is flexibly movable relative to the opposed longitudinal edge. The first and second longitudinal edges selectively define a tube passageway for receiving the line. A funnel having a flexible wall defining a funnel aperture is connected to the distal end portion of the tube, wherein the funnel aperture is aligned with the tube aperture along the central longitudinal axis. A plurality of flexible and resilient fish retention members are positioned adjacent the tube aperture and oriented at an acute angle to the longitudinal axis to accommodate unidirectional passage of the fish through the tube for retrieval thereof. In an alternative preferred embodiment a tubular member includes a plurality of inwardly biased fish retention members formed monolithically therewith.
