    Abstract: This invention is an active artificial game fishing lure that accurately replicates the appearance and movements of a live animal swimming on the surface of the water. Equipped with radio frequency remote control, the lure can be maneuvered around obstacles and into hard to reach locations. A plurality of spring-loaded hooks is hidden inside the body of the lure until the fish strikes. The bite-triggered hook mechanism then releases the hooks, firmly setting them into the fish's mouth. The lure can be designed to represent food sources for large freshwater game fish, such as a rodent (mouse, rat, chipmunk or muskrat), duckling, frog, salamander, or lizard. These features ensure that the angler will be able to get the lure into places where big game fish lurk, that the lure will stimulate the fish's natural feeding response, and that the fish will be hooked when it strikes the lure.
