Livewell operation and control for a vessel
Livewells of a vessel are used to store caught fish, such as during fishing competitions. Apparatuses, systems, and methods track and use fishing information for efficient operation and control of livewells and the associated pumps. An example marine electronic device of a vessel comprises a user interface with a display screen, a processor, and memory including computer program code. The memory and the computer program code are configured to, with the processor, cause the marine electronic device to receive an indication of a fish catch and cause, in response to receiving the indication of the fish catch, a pump associated with a livewell of the vessel to one of fill the livewell with water or recirculate water in the livewell, wherein the water is pumped from a body of water in which the vessel is at least partially submerged.
Castable sensor device
A sensor assembly for a castable lure is provided including a pressure sensor configured to measure a water pressure applied to the castable lure when deployed in an underwater environment, a processor, and a memory including computer program code. The computer program code configured to, when executed on the processor, cause the processor to receive pressure data from the pressure sensor, correlate the pressure data with time stamp data, cause the pressure data and correlated time stamp data to be stored in the memory, determine a data connection status between a transceiver and a marine electronic device, and in response to determining that a data connection exists, cause the pressure data and the correlated time stamp data to be transmitted to the marine electronic device. The pressure data and correlated pressure data correspond to a depth profile for a cast of the castable lure.

MULTI-PURPOSE FLASHLIGHT
A multi-purpose, hand-held flashlight has an elongated body with a front body portion having a bottle opener and a front engaging structure. The elongated body also includes a rear body portion with a rear engaging structure that is cooperatively dimensioned to interact with the front engaging structure to releasably couple the front body portion to the rear body portion. The rear body portion includes a second substantially cone shaped extent that includes a recessed cutting element. A lighting element assembly is disposed within the elongated body and includes a lighting element printed circuit board coupled to an emitter assembly, a power source, and a switch. The switch is configured to change the operational mode of the emitter assembly. An attachment mechanism is coupled to the second extent of the rear body portion.
FISH FINDING DEVICE MOUNT
A fish finding device mount is provided to be used in connection with a fish finding device that includes an electronic device communicable with a receiver. The fish finding device mount may include a mounting arm that is attachable to the transom of a boat. Attached to the mounting arm is at least one bracket that is utilized to secure an extendable arm to the mounting arm. The extendable arm includes a mounting adapter that couples the fish finder's electronic device to the mounting device. The fish finding device mount is designed to selectively submerge the fish finder's electronic device a distance below the boat's hull to prevent any form of interference, and retract the electronic device a distance out of the water to avoid an accidental collision with a foreign object during transit.

Fish Holding Apparatus
The fish-holding apparatus is a stick device which may be used to take pictures of fish. The device may be attached to any boat that has a pedestal hole to secure the device. In addition, the device may be held in hand by a user, with a fish positioned at one end of the device, so as to allow taking of a picture of the fish itself or of a group picture together with the fish. . Further, the apparatus includes additional support members for better stability and gripping elements for improved ease of use. Additionally, the fish-holding apparatus has access for installing a variety of attachable links, to which a wide variety for fish-grips and/or hanging scales may be attached to. The fish-holding apparatus provides a cost-effective, portable, and easy-to-use device for taking pictures of fish.

LEADER STRAIGHTENER
A leader straightener having a first component disposed about a fishing rod. The first component has a coefficient of friction sufficient to straighten a leader when the leader is pulled through and away from the first component at an angle.
Fishing Lure Furnishings
A fishing lure furnishing is provided, comprising a fishing lure body having an elongate member extending therefrom, wherein the fishing lure body comprises a first side having a non-planar contoured body surface and opposite thereto a second side having a planar body surface, wherein the fishing lure body comprises one or more first apertures disposed at a bottom portion of the fishing lure body; and one or more sets of hooks removably coupled to the fishing lure body, wherein each set of hooks comprises a plurality of hook segments coupled to one another, wherein each hook segment is coupled at a first end adjacent one or more coupling mechanisms disposed within the one or more apertures and terminates at a second end in a hemispherical shape, wherein the one or more coupling mechanisms detach from the lure body or one or more sets of hooks when a threshold amount of force is applied to the one or more coupling mechanisms.
