Abstract: A notched dehooking device having a handle (2) located at a first end of an elongated shaft (3) and a hook removal portion (4) having a notch (6) affixed to a distal end of the shaft. The notch works to capture and hold fishing hooks while dehooking a fish. The distal end of the shaft is bent degree to 30 degrees horizontally to form a horizontal offset angle (8) and 1 degree to 30 degrees vertically to form a vertical offset angle (7). These offset angles work to better accommodate circle hooks a large range of other types and sizes of hooks and also to hide a barb or point of a hook while removing the hook thereby preventing re-engagement of a hook with a fish after being removed.
