This invention provides a fish hook remover comprising a handle and a shaft. The handle comprises a first end, a second end, a width, and a longitudinal axis. The handle defines a handle notch and slot, the handle notch extending across the entire width of the handle, to define a width axis of the handle, and extending from the first end of the handle along a portion of the longitudinal axis of the handle, and terminating at a slot opening. The slot extends across the entire handle width and extends from the slot opening along a portion of the longitudinal axis and has a terminal portion offset from the longitudinal axis. The shaft comprises a first end, a second end, and a longitudinal axis. The first end defines a shaft notch. The second end is attached to the handle between the second end of the handle and the end of the slot distal from the first end of the handle, such that the longitudinal axis of the shaft is oriented substantially parallel to the width axis of the handle and substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the handle.
