Abstract
A fish hook removing device for manually removing fish hooks from the mouths of fish. The fish hook removing device has an elongated hollow insertable portion that has an outer end portion and an inner end portion. An elongated straight handle portion depends downwardly at an angle from the inner end portion of the insertable portion. The insertable portion has a straight slot in its upper surface for receiving a portion of the fish line near the hook when the fish line is held tight. After the fish line has been inserted into the slot, the insertable portion is pushed into the mouth of the fish until it contacts the hook. A thumb is then placed over the fish line where the fish line exits from the insertable portion to keep the line tight between that point and the fish hook. A jab toward the mouth of the fish that pushes the insertable member into the fish mouth followed by a pull away from the mouth of the fish while the thumb is held in place removes the hook from the mouth of the fish.
