Claim:
1. A fish hook system comprising: a sleeve extending between a sleeve proximal end portion and a sleeve distal end portion; a trigger lever extending from and including a free end and a pivot end, the pivot end being pivotally coupled to the sleeve distal end portion, the trigger lever being movable between a first position and a second position; a biasing member disposed within the sleeve; a first line extending out of the sleeve distal end portion, the first line including and extending between a first line proximal end and first line distal end, the first line proximal end being coupled to the biasing member and the first line distal end being disposed outside of the sleeve; a hook coupled to the first line; and a catch affixed to the first line, wherein the catch engages at least the trigger lever in the first position, after the first line has been drawn out of the sleeve distal end portion against a biasing force of the biasing member, and wherein the catch releases from the trigger lever when the trigger lever is at a rotational position between the first position and the second position and at the second position, and when the catch releases from the trigger lever, the biasing member causes the first line to be drawn at least partially into the sleeve.
