Abstract: The embodiments of the Fishing Tool are comprised of a front and rear element secured together at a common pivot point. Each element is comprised of a handle and an arm. In the embodiments each arm is comprised of a tip end that is formed at an angle from the arm and extends outward from the arm. The Fishing Tool is comprised of a radial handle located on each element so that when the handles are squeezed together each element moves oppositely around the common pivot point causing the radial arms and the tips to move apart in opposite arc paths. An integral ratchet, friction, or other mechanism will cause the device to hold or lock its position until the mechanism is released. An internal spring will assist returning the device to its original, neutral position. The embodiments of the Fishing Tool offer fishermen hands-free assistance with fishhook retrieval/removal.
