![]() The disadvantages are that the fishhooks are dangerous for the fishermen to handle while baiting or casting them and when detaching them from the fish. The advantages of fishhooks are that they are simple, cheap and somewhat effective at attaching to fish. The use of fishhooks is found worldwide in both recreational and commercial fishing. Historically, fishermen have been using hooks to catch fish for many centuries. The fishing device of the invention, on the other hand, is reactive, meaning that when the fish investigates the bait, the device responds by latching on or grabbing it. That is, the fish must bite the hook or lure, or a crab must crawl into the trap before it can be caught. It is known that fishing devices are passive, meaning that a hook, lure or trap is used to catch the fish. The invention relates generally to a fishing device and more specifically to a reactive fishing device that will grab a fish. The combination of claim 1, wherein the extension handles may be moved from the open position to the loaded position when removing the fish grabbing device from the fish.
