The automated closing of the opening of a hand-held net. The hand-held net is operatable underwater, and specifically in saltwater. A mechanism, contained in an elongated handle, causes retraction of a predetermined section of a draw line to within the handle. The handle has pivotally attached a hoop, the hoop having attached a net. The draw line engages circumferentially the net at a location parallel to, and spaced from, the hoop. Once retraction of the draw line is activated the locations of connection of the draw line are gathered into close proximity together. This location being generally to the center of the hoop. Once retracted to this position, the net is effectively closed, preventing exit of anything contained therein through the hoop. The closed netting device is returned to an expanded position in a controlled manner by the operator by enabling a desired length of the draw line to be removed from the handle in user defined increments. This is accomplished by the incorporation of a ratchet gear in close proximity to the entry point for the draw line to the handle. The ratchet gear, having a disposed position and a engaged position, enforces a unidirectional movement of the draw line during expanding procedure. The operator would select the position of the ratchet gear during use. Opposing pulley located in the handle ensure that an adequate length of draw line is retractable, while permitting a relatively short handle to be employed.

A netting device suitable for hand-held operation underwater for trapping a crustacean, the netting device comprising; a) a handle, the handle substantially hollow comprising a connection end, an entry point, an interior, an exterior, the entry point in close proximity to the connection end; b) a hoop, the hoop having a hoop circumference, the hoop circumference defining an opening, the hoop attached to the connection end of the handle, the handle and the hoop having a point of connection; c) a flexible net, the flexible net having a net circumference, a bunt, an open position, a closed position, the flexible net attached to the hoop and encircling the hoop circumference, the bunt defining a confinement area for the crustacean, the bunt extendable to one side of the opening of the hoop, the opening of the hoop being the only opening of the flexible net of sufficient size to permit passage of the crustacean between the confinement area and an outside area, the outside area being beyond the confinement area, the open position having the confinement area of the flexible net substantially open at the opening of the hoop, the closed position having the confinement area of the flexible net substantially closed at the opening of the hoop; d) a draw apparatus, the draw apparatus secured to the flexible net and at least partially encircling the net circumference, the draw apparatus having a spacing, the spacing being the distance from, and relatively parallel to, the hoop, the spacing from the hoop sufficient to allow for collection of the draw apparatus to a central location, the central location relatively central within the opening of the hoop, the draw apparatus having an entry point, the entry point being in close proximity to the handle; e) a draw line, the draw line having a first end, a second end, a retraction length, the first end inserted through the draw apparatus utilizing the entry point and extending through the draw apparatus at least partially around the net circumference, the second end inserted through the entry point in the handle, the draw line adaptable for retraction and expansion of the flexible net between the open position and the closed position, the retraction length being the amount of the draw line required to transfer the flexible net from the open position to the closed position; f) retraction displacement means, the retraction displacement means to cause retraction of the retraction length of the draw line to within the handle to cause the draw apparatus, attached to the flexible net, to be collected to the central location within the opening of the hoop to cause the flexible net to be placed in the closed position; g) locking means, the locking means to selectively restrict activation of the retraction displacement means; h) a trigger mechanism, the trigger mechanism located at a predetermined position on the handle, the trigger mechanism to permit controlled release of the locking means to activate the retraction displacement means; whereby the user would position the netting device to place the crustacean within the confinement area of the flexible net and operate the trigger mechanism to release the locking means to cause the retraction displacement means to cause the draw apparatus to place the flexible net in the closed position to trap the crustacean and prevent escape thereof.
