Abstract: One embodiment of the invention is a fishhook remover aid 100 that has a base 102 and a cover 170. The base 102 is longer than the cover 170. When reeling in a fish, an angler may first insert a fishing line 138 through a space 120 located on top portions 112, 114 of the cover 170. The fish is then urged along the base 102 and into the cover 170. Opposing rounded sides 108, 110 of the cover 170 are flexible, allowing the angler to grasp the fishhook remover aid with sufficient pressure on the fish to remove the fishhook 138 without damaging the fish in the process. The safe swift removal of the fishhook without the need for an angler's hand to come into direct contact with the fish thus occurs. The fishhook remover aid 100 has a built in ruler 134 located on the base 102 for measuring a length of the fish while the angler removes the fishhook.

Abstract: The present invention is a lawn-aerating and weed-pulling apparatus for use in aerating the ground and removing weeds. The apparatus comprises a substantially horizontal foot plate having a first side and a second side. A coring mechanism and a resilient biasing mechanism is secured to the second side of the foot plate. When the resilient biasing mechanism is compressed and then released it urges the foot plate and the coring mechanism which is secured to it in a generally upward direction. Upon exertion of a generally downward force on the foot plate, the resilient biasing mechanism is compressed, allowing the coring mechanism to penetrate the ground. Upon release of the generally downward force on the foot plate, the resilient biasing mechanism urges the foot plate and the coring mechanism which is secured to it upward, away from the ground, thereby removing a core of ground with substantially reduced or diminished effort on the part of the user.
