ABSTRACT:
A fish fighting apparatus for assisting an angler in the capture of large hooked fish. The fish fighting apparatus includes a rotational platform that attaches to a fish fighting chair for use by an angler in pulling a hooked fish into a boat using a fishing rod. The platform includes a base having a top surface and a bottom surface and an attachment plate which attaches said platform to the deck of the boat. The base is rotatably connected to the attachment plate via the bottom surface of the base. The base can be rotated substantially independent of the pull on the fishing rod since the position of the point of rotation of the chair attached to the platform is offset from the point of rotation of the base of the platform. An accessory attachment bar is mounted to the attachment plate and a vertical chair support member is pivotally fastened to the accessory attachment bar allowing a slidable seat to pivot back and forth. A pair of uprights are mounted at an opposite end of the accessory attachment bar from the chair support member for releasably attaching a gimbals rod for holding the butt of the fishing rod. In the preferred embodiment, a rod angle-positioning device is also disposed upon the uprights to limit the forward movement of the rod when it is mounted in the gimbals.
