Fishing accessory with camera mount
A fishing accessory with camera mount. The fishing accessory includes a body having a first end and a second end. An elongated handle is configured to be removably securable to the first end of the body. A fishing tool is affixed to the second end of the body. The fishing tool can be a net, a gaff hook, or other tool used for catching and retrieving fish. A camera mount is disposed on an upper side of the body, wherein the camera mount is configured to receive a camera and removably secure the camera to the body. The fishing accessory with camera mount allows users to easily record themselves catching, landing, and displaying a fish.
Flying Tail Cuff
Fishermen use gaffs to spear, hold and land large fish. This is dangerous when done from a boat and always kills the fish. A gaff consists of a u-shaped steel bar (shank) with one end attached to a pole and the opposite end containing a sharp point. The invention, similar to existing gaffs, but designed to hold a fish without harming it, has a blunt end, rather than a point. Instead of spearing fish, it uses two steel, spring activated, one-way gates, that span the opening between the sides of the shank. They open and then close when pulled or pushed across the part of the fish's body to which the tail attaches, making it impossible for the fish to pull its tail free from the space between the closed gates and the curve in the bend of the shank. The fish is then held without harm.

Fish culling clip
A self-tightening culling clip used to secure a marker to a fish for quick identification of the fish in a livewell, for example. The self-tightening culling clip has handles coupled together about a handle pivot and a marker attached to a lift-pivot. A spring forces the jaw end of the handles together and a user may squeeze the handle end of the handles to open the jaws for attaching to a fish. When the marker is lifted, the handles pivot about the handle-pivot to apply force to close the jaws, thereby creating a self-tightening culling clip. A pair of links extend from the lift pivot to the handles and these links for the handle end of the handles outward when the marker is lifted. The marker may have a distinctive identifier color and/or character.

FISH STRINGER APPARATUS
A fish stringer apparatus for stringing fish together to anchor the fish while retaining the fish in water and to carry the fish includes a clasp and a pair of threading members. Each threading member of the pair of threading members extend away from the clasp. Each threading member includes a flexible cord with a rigid pin mounted on the end of the flexible cord. Each threading member is threadable through a gill and a mouth of a fish to string the fish onto the threading member. Each threading member is also drivable into a ground surface to anchor the fish stringer apparatus. The clasp is engageable with either threading member to create a closed loop for maintaining the fish on the threading member.
Device for retrieving fish
The present invention is directed to a device for retrieving a fish caught on a fishing line, the device including a receptacle for passing along the fishing line and then receiving the caught fish, and a retriever for retrieving the receptacle and the fish.
