Priest (tool)

Priest (tool)

A priest is a tool, often resembling a blunt weapon, used for quickly killing fish. Priests usually come in the form of a heavy metal head attached to a metal or wooden stick. The name "priest" comes from the notion of administering the "last rites" to the fish. Anglers often use priests to quickly kill fish. [http://geocities.com/tony2kuk/fishkill.html]
