  • Patent number: 4454630
    Abstract: A fish holding and cleaning device containing two frame members that are attached to one another by a hinge for folding to a closed carrying position and unfolding to an open, cleaning position. When opened to a cleaning position the ends of the frame members pinch together so that a fish tail can be captured therebetween. The head of a fish so captured can be secured to an outside end of one of the frame members by a hook and a biasing element such as a rubber band. Each frame member has a grooved cleaning surface upon which a fish resides when being cleaned on that side. By using the hook a fish can be moved to and secured to the opposite cleaning surface while its tail remains captured between the frame member ends. Pockets are attached below the frame members for the storage of cleaning tools.
