ABSTRACT:
A sport fishing seat for fishing boats is provided with a saddle seat and a foot pedal assembly. In one version the foot pedal assembly pivots of the seat support which enables a fisherman to utilize the leg muscles while reeling in a game fish. The foot pedal assembly in that version includes a tubular post which receives the butt end of the fishing rod while at the lower end thereof the pedal portion may be engaged by the feet of the fisherman. This assembly is pivotally mounted on a bracket means extending laterally outward from underneath the seat proper and this enables the fisherman to utilize his leg muscles to greater advantage in playing and landing a game fish. In all saddle seat versions the fisherman has his legs on either side of the saddle seat and is a convenient arrangement for small boats, little space being taken up by the seat and pedestal.
