A fish holding device of the pliers type having longitudinally curved jaws with well rounded transversely extending grooves providing broad teeth having rounded surfaces to engage and hold a fish without seriously injuring the fish or piercing the scales or skin of the fish. The device has two identical jaw and handle members pivoted together between the jaw and handle members and yieldingly urged to the open or operative position. The jaws are relatively narrow, of the order of one half inch so that one of the jaw elements can be projected into the mouth of a fish and the other jaw element can engage the exterior of the fish's lower jaw so that the fish can be safely manipulated. The device has a pivoted clamp or bail carried by the end of one of the handle members to loop over the end of the other handle member to hold the device in a closed or carrying position, but which can be released by a one-handed operation by merely holding the device vertically and compressing the handles slightly whereupon the clamp or bail falls off of the non-pivoted handle and the spring opens the device to ready it for immediate use.
