The "how big is it" question was never answered.  But, it looks like something I saw in an ad in the back of a fishing magazine a loooooooong time ago. 

The object in the ad was designed to make sure the fish, once hooked, can't get off.  Hence the hinged jaws, similar to a Boga Grip.

I'm not saying that is definitely what it is.  But it does remind me of it.

With the tongs and the hook it is obviously used for ice fishing.


When you catch your limit of ice you filet your catch with this item...
