Anyone know where I can buy/order one of these handy tools used to deflate the swim bladder of grouper/snapper?

I thought this was going to be a post about some wonderful new product to keep me from yelling at my wife.
To answer your question, I just use my knife.

My buddy Chris got his free from Half Hitch tackle in Port St Joe
I don't know if that was a special deal or what...

Here is a PDF on How to use them...
How to by Sea Grant

and here is the supplier they recommend- A single is $2 (you have to purchase the needle and syringe separately) or they have packages...
