We used one for the first time this summer. For us they are now a must have to have in the boat when my son is trying to get anything with spikes on it's back that is flopping around out of the livewell. For the kids holding fish with one hand on the gripper and one under the belly, also great for taking pictures. If you use them properly, they are great. There are always going to be people against something you are doing, some folks don't even think fishing should be allowed, some hate catch and release, and some think everything they catch should go home with them. The one we used was my great grandfathers, it is like a long duck bill plier.
