Abstract
A fish fighting apparatus for assisting an angler in the capture of large hooked fish providing an angler with a lever arm which is attached to the rod holder and which is rotatably attached to a base which is attached to the boat. The lever arm can receive force from the angler's legs via attached pedals. A rotatable, adjustable seat is also connected to the base. The base is free to rotate to allow the rod to point in the approximate direction of the fish. A drag assembly prevents unwanted movement of the chair when subjected to the effects of wave action.
