Quick take
A floating plastic fish gripper with secure jaw that holds fish up to 100 lbs for kayak and boat fishing.
This is a plastic lip gripper that floats if it slips overboard, which suits kayak, jon boat and bank fishing. The jaw has a smooth, non-serrated grip meant to hold fish from bass up to catfish, and it opens and closes with one hand. A wrist lanyard is included, and the plastic body works in fresh or salt water.
