A double-headed five-sided fishing net uses a pair of net heads to enclose a fish from two opposing sides and uses a lateral net to enclose a fish from three additional sides. The lateral net is connected in between the pair of net heads on three sides so that the front side is an opening that can be used to capture fish. A tong assembly allows a user to press the pair of net heads against each other, which puts the fishing net into a closed position. In addition, the tong assembly continuously applies a force by a torsion spring to separate the pair of net heads from each other, which puts the fishing net into an open position. In order to counter the continuous force from the torsion spring, the fishing net has a locking mechanism to hold the tong assembly in the closed position.
