Abstract: A fish hook extractor comprises an elongated member having gripping means at one end and a slotted end portion at the other end thereof. The slotted end portion comprises a pair of legs located at an angle to the plane of the elongated member, each of said legs having a tapered outer face leading to the entrance of the slot. The slot is of decreasing width leading to an arcuate base portion. A transversely slidable member is mounted in an aperture extending through the elongated member at a point near the gripping means so that the fishing line may be wrapped thereabout after the extractor is inserted into the fish's mouth and has caught the hook in the slot. The extractor is first pushed inwardly to dislodge the hook and then pulled outwardly drawing the hook out of the fish. A second embodiment includes a member having the rear portion which is slidable along the elongated member and a projecting front portion having a predetermined slot extending inwardly from one side and at an angle.
