Quick take

A stainless steel and aluminum fish gripper with wide-opening jaw for handling freshwater and saltwater species.

This fish lip gripper pairs a die-cast aluminum body with a jaw that opens 2.4 inches wide, so one hand can hold a caught fish by the lip while the other works the hook free. It weighs about 0.3 pounds and ships with a steel-wire PVC lanyard, a metal hiking buckle and a glow-in-the-dark module for finding it after dark. Anglers who are tired of slippery towels and gloves will find it a straightforward way to handle freshwater or saltwater catches.
