Abstract: A fish stringer and bracket assembly wherein the stringer has a loop on the end upon which a first fish may be mounted and the stringer also has one or more enlarged diameter portions such that the enlarged diameter portion of the stringer can be received in a bracket which will not allow the enlarged portion to pass through so as to lock the stringer to a boat or other device. The one end of the stringer has a pointed metal spike attached which makes easy to pass the stringer through the gills of a fish. The bracket may be attached to a boat or other device with the screws or, alternatively, may be attached to the boat with a peel-off double-sided adhesive or other form of an adhesive. The stringer may be quickly and easily removed from the bracket when in use.
