ABSTRACT:
A device for chopping or mashing fish into chum or bait size pieces while the device is immersed in water at variable depths which operates by wave action or swells acting on a cutter slidably housed inside a perforated container and at one end being attached to a boat or other floating object and at the other having a weight. The perforated container has removable end caps and a stabilizer affixed to one end cap for stabilization in water. A cutting or chopping operation is effected by wave or swell action causing the boat or floating object to rise in the water causing the cutter to rise inside the stabilized container containing large pieces of fish until the cutter impacts fish against an end cap of the container. As the wave or swell recedes, the boat or floating object drops in the water and the weight affixed to the other end of the cutter causes the cutter to fall inside the stabilized container containing large pieces of fish until the cutter impacts fish against an end cap of the container. As a result of the cutting or chopping action, chum or small pieces of bait are washed out through the holes in the container thereby attracting game fish. By adjusting the length of the line to the boat or floating object, the device can be operated at variable depths and used to bring game fish nearer the surface.
