A stringer assembly for the safe storage of fish caught by a fisherman includes a stringer line having a needle, a floatation device, and a holder. The stringer assembly is configured to prevent the pushing of slack in the line in a manner to dislodge the stringer line. Additionally, the stringer line is secured without clamping or tying of the stringer line. The holder is releasably coupled to a water vessel through an attachment device configured to prevent twisting of the stringer line. The needle is inserted into a portion of the holder and the stringer line is routed under a flange of the holder in a manner that binds or wedges the stringer line to the holder and prevents removal of the needle from within the holder. Because no fasteners are needed, a fisherman is capable of operating the assembly with a single hand.

A fish pick and method includes a fish pick, the device has a 0.25 inch diameter rod made of stainless steel and formed into a shape configured to support a handle and a fish having a rod handle support including a rigidly coupled handle, a rod guard support including a removably couplable guard having at least one notch, a rod base, and a rod fish support extending from the rod base and offset twenty degrees from the rod guard support. The rod fish support is configured to hold a fish by insertion into the fish's gills and exiting the fish's mouth.

A kayak fishing stringer system includes a spring-lock handle configured to retain a plurality of leashes to a watercraft. In the preferred embodiment the spring-lock handle that may be a carabiner clip is configured to retain the plurality of leashes comprising cables/rods having a first and a second loop to the watercraft by the spring-lock handle via the first loop and the second loop coupled to the double eye swiveled coupling coupled to the fish retaining safety hook. The system may be structured and arranged to provide a fishing stringer useful for culling and carrying fish caught when using a shallow water vessel.

An apparatus for releasing a fish into deep water, comprising a central member having an upper end portion and a lower end portion, a spiral member attached to the central member, the spiral member being spaced away from the central member and having a free end, a plurality of swivels, wherein one of the swivels can be connected the upper end portion of the central member and another of said swivels can be connected to the lower end portion of the central member, and a weight connected to the lower swivel. The device can further provide a weight on the central member that overcomes buoyancy of the fish.

A fish stringer is constructed so that a clamp for attachment to the belt of the fisherman can also be used as the stringer that passes through the gills of the fish. A tether is attached at one end to the clamp and the other end of the tether may be attached to a suitable support which may include the clamp itself, a support structure, or a flotation device.

A fish stringer has a locking body, an insert received in the locking body and a loop connected to the locking body and the insert. An insert-receiving cavity traverses into the locking body. The insert has a handle portion to be manipulated and a tongue portion within the insert-receiving cavity. A latching mechanism on the insert engages a latch receptacle on the locking body. The latching mechanism is a flexible arm with a tab. The flexible arm is deformed from an equilibrium position as the tab engages with the latch receptacle.
