Claim:
1. A locking device for being held in a hand of a user, for grabbing an eel directly at any desired position along the eel, for impaling the eel and for locking onto the eel of any diameter both for secure grabbing, and for being replaceable attachable to a belt of the user, said locking device comprising: a) a stationary handle; b) a movable handle; c) a stationary jaw; and d) a movable jaw; wherein said stationary handle and said movable handle are pivotally attached to each other; wherein said stationary handle and said movable handle are for being held in the hand of the user; wherein said stationary jaw and said movable jaw are pivotally attached to each other; wherein said stationary jaw and said movable jaw extend from said stationary handle and said movable handle, respectively; wherein said stationary jaw and said movable jaw are for grabbing the eel directly at any desired position along the eel; wherein said stationary jaw and said movable jaw and for impaling the eel and for locking onto the eel of any diameter both for secure grabbing; wherein said stationary jaw has a working terminal end; wherein said movable jaw has a working terminal end; wherein said working terminal end of said stationary jaw is formed into a stationary tonged tip; wherein said working terminal end of said movable jaw is formed into a movable tonged tip; wherein said stationary tonged tip of said working terminal end of said stationary jaw comprises a stationary block; wherein said movable tonged tip of said working terminal end of said movable jaw comprises a movable block; wherein said stationary block of said stationary tonged tip of said working terminal end of said stationary jaw is generally semi-cylindrical-shaped and partially defined by a stationary flat surface; wherein said movable block of said movable tonged tip of said working terminal end of said movable jaw is generally semi-cylindrical-shaped and partially defined by a movable flat surface; wherein said stationary tonged tip of said working terminal end of said stationary jaw comprises a stationary impaler; wherein said movable tonged tip of said working terminal end of said movable jaw comprises a movable impaler; wherein said stationary impaler of said stationary tonged tip of said working terminal end of said stationary jaw extends inwardly from said stationary flat surface of said stationary block of said stationary tonged tip of said working terminal end of said stationary jaw to a semicircular and concave shaped surface; and wherein said movable impaler of said movable tonged tip of said working terminal end of said movable jaw extends inwardly from said movable flat surface of said movable block of said movable tonged tip of said working terminal end of said movable jaw to a semicircular and concave shaped surface.
