Abstract: A device for holding an ice fishing rod is disclosed. The device is comprised of a rod holder, a base and a strap. The rod holder is shaped to hold an ice fishing rod, at the handle of the ice fishing rod, in a substantially horizontal position. The base is shaped to fit the thigh of a fisherman. Preferably, the base is a container with a hinged lid, the container having a plurality of compartments to hold fishing bait and fishing lures. The strap is attached to the base and is of sufficient length to fit around the thigh of the fisherman. Preferably, the strap has a buckle at each end. This device is intended to be strapped to the thigh of a seated ice fisherman. An ice fishing rod may be inserted into the rod holder. The fisherman may fish and tend to bait or lures at the end of his or her fishing rod hands-free.

Abstract: An apparatus for securing a fish during the process of fileting or scaling the fish. The apparatus is comprised of a handle, a body and one or more tines. The handle is shaped to be grasped within one hand. The body is attached to the handle. The one or more tines are substantially perpendicularly attached to the body for securing the fish to a solid surface. The optimal angle between the body and the one or more tines is approximately 115 degrees. Preferably, the distal end of the body is flared to increase the number of tines which may be attached to it. Preferably, a squeegee is attached to the side of the body opposite the one or more tines, to promote easy removal of fish remnants. The apparatus may also be used for securing other types of meat.
