An unhooking mat.
Basically, it's a padded er...mat on which you place the landed fish for
unhooking, some of them double over and seal with velcro making it into a
weighing sling as well, the fish can then be carried in it to the water for
release with less chance of injury.
They are a nessecity for big fish as their own body weight can cause
injuries if plonked down on gravel, rough grass or any other unsuitable
surface.
