ABSTRACT:
In a preferred embodiment, a platform fish chunk-cutting combination having a platform substantially enclosed by circumscribing walls including an end upright wall at one end of a platform, mounting a pivotally-mounted lever carrying a blade having a bottom cutting-edge positioned and mounted to transverse space adjacent a gap defined between spaced-apart upright wall-portions of the end upright wall with the gap between the spaced-apart wall-portions being held to a minimum necessary for gap-insertion of a fish to be chopped into chunks, and including blade-limiting brackets that limit movement of the bottom cutting-edge to a minimum height necessary for gap-space insertion of the fish to be chopped into chunks and to a height not exceeding height of the gap-defining spaced-apart upright wall portions sufficiently to minimize potential accidental cutting of a person by the elongated cutting-edge, the blade being detachably-mounted and replaceable by another equivalent sharpened blade, the platform including detachable mounting structure including alternately useable (a) downwardly-extending cylindrical structure mountable on or within an open-space top of a support structure, at-least a major lower portion of the detachable mounting structure being conically shaped in a downwardly-extending direction such that the detachable mounting structure will stably support the platform in any of alternate vessels or supports having upper openings of different sizes and shapes, or (b) one or more serially mountable members having male and female ends mateable to form a support of optionally ranging from short to long length, on which the platform is mountable uprightly with the platform extending substantially horizontally, and of which a bottom end is mountable within or onto a rod-holder, and the combination further including a fish-grasping clamp having opposing jaws with opposing teeth thereof for clamping onto a fish to be held, with a biasing spring biasing the jaws together, and having spaced-apart opposing lever-handles compressible together to open the jaws allowing for the grasping of a fish therewith, the fish-grasping clamp including guard structure of a size and shape sufficiently obstructive as to prevent the fish-grasping clamp from being placed within said gap such that cutting of a person handling the fish-grasping clamp is minimized, the fish-grasping clamp being attached to the platform or walls thereof before, during and after use of the fish-grasping clamp.
