Quick take
One-hand fish gripper with quick release mechanism and wrist lanyard.
This 9-inch Rapala gripper lets you hold a fish with one hand while the other stays free to unhook it. The foam body floats if it slips out of your grip, and a wrist lanyard keeps it attached to you. A quick-release mechanism lets go of the fish cleanly, which suits anglers who practice catch and release.
