Episode 59…Keith Lawrence and the “OUT Tool” Fish Mouth Spreader
We received an email from Keith Lawrence saying that he enjoys listening to our podcast. He says he finds inspiration and pearls of wisdom in all of them. It has been our goal to receive an email like this.
Keith Lawrence went on a fishing trip to Canada with his father. He had bought a local coil-spring tool to hold open the mouth of a fish while removing the hook, but their fish-mouth spreader didn’t work very well. This would lead to the invention of the “OUT Tool” Fish Mouth Spreader.

New Product Development Center
Keith worked with the New Product Development Center at Oklahoma State University, a nonprofit, state-funded service that helps inventors navigate the invention process through education.
