Abstract:

A fish retrieval assembly for lifting a fish out of an ice fishing hole includes a handle for gripping. The handle is elongated such that the handle is extendable downwardly through the ice fishing hole. A scoop is pivotally coupled to the handle and the scoop is positionable in a first position having the scoop being oriented co-linear with the handle. Thus, the scoop may be extended through the ice fishing hole without closing off the ice fishing hole. The scoop is positionable in a second position having the scoop being oriented perpendicular to the handle for lifting a fish upwardly through the ice fishing hole. A trigger is movably coupled between the handle and the scoop to urge the scoop between the first position and the second position.
