  • Patent number: 8516737
    Abstract: The coverable fish net apparatus provides for easily netting a fish and selectively covering a first frame with a large net and a second frame with small net. A strap is disposed on a second end of the first frame and a clip is disposed on an outer end thereof. The second frame is slideably positioned on the handle via a lock mechanism including positions partially over and completely over the first frame toy trap a fish within. A strap is disposed on the second end and a clip is disposed on an outer end thereof. A hook is pivotally disposed on an apex of the second frame. Effectively netting, and revival prior to release, of varying sizes of fish is thereby best accomplished, with less chance of fish escape.

  • Patent number: 8356443
    Abstract: The coverable fish net apparatus provides for easily netting a fish and selectively covering the first frame and large net with the second frame with small net. The second frame with small net is slideably positioned in a plurality of positions along the handle, with the second frame being capable of positioning on the handle well above the first frame and progressively positioned closer to the first frame. The second frame may further be positioned partially over the first frame, and completely over the first frame, thereby trapping a fish within. Release of the lever positions the second frame with small net as chosen. Effectively netting a plurality of sizes of fish is thereby best accomplished, with less chance of fish escape. The apparatus further provides for easily reviving a fish prior to release.
