A device and method for retrieving a fish or other animal or object attached to a line includes a tube having a flexible wall extending between a distal end portio n and a proximal end portion. The tube wall defines a tube aperture aligned with a central longitudinal axis, and includes a first longitudinal edge and a second opposed longitudinal edge, where at least one of the longitudinal edges is flexibly movable relative to the opposed longitudinal edge. The first and second longitudinal edges selectively define a tube passageway for receiving the line. A funnel having a flexible wall defining a funnel aperture is connecte d to the distal end portion of the tube, wherein the funnel aperture is aligned with the tube aperture along the central longitudinal axis. A plurality of flexible and resilient fish retention members are positioned adjacent the tube aperture and oriented at an acute angle to the longitudina l axis to accommodate unidirectional passage of the fish through the tube for retrieval thereof. I n an alternative preferred embodiment a tubular member includes a plurality of inwardly biase d fish retention members formed monolithically therewith.
