There are different types of fish grippers. Some operate like a wrench you clamp it on the jaw and hold it one hand while the other hand holds the tail. Other types look more like calipers and and are opened by pushing on the latch button and close on release.

A fish "gripper" is a tool used to grasp the lower lip of fish species. This allows anglers to easily land and control larger specimens and some even have built in scales to weigh fish. One of the most well known models is called the "Boga Grip". Although expensive, it will last a long time and can be certified by the IGFA to record potential world records.

In order to effectively use a fish gripper, you need to carefully place the forceps upon the lower lip of the fish. This is most effectively done by lifting the fish's head out of the water with your rod tip and reaching down with your opposite hand. If you are landing someone else's fish, grab the leader and guide the fish's mouth to the gripper. When lifting a fish out of the water make sure to lift vertically and when posing for a picture, be sure to support the fish's weight at a ninety degree angle. If not, you will damage the fish which may result in mortality. Do not use a fish gripper on sensitive fish species like trout or bonefish as they are most susceptible to damage from handling.
