Abstract
A fish hook for carrying live bait fish is disclosed. The hook includes a curved, primary shaft that is attached at an upper end to a fishing line. A barbed, pointed section is connected to a lower end of the primary shaft. A secondary shaft is flexibly interconnected to and extends from the primary shaft and is insertible through the mouth and gill of a live bait fish. A clasp selectively interconnects the primary shaft and a distal portion of the secondary shaft to restrict removal of secondary shaft from the live bait fish.
