The first and second jaws are operatively coupled to move between an open position where the first and second jaws are separated by a maximum distance possible and the eye of the fishhook can fit over the needle, and a closed position where the first and second jaws are at their closest approach to one another and the needle contacts the second jaw to securely retain the fishhook between the first and second jaws.
