This invention comprises a fish holding apparatus especially adapted to hold eels, catfish, and the like, by arranging an elongated box to be supported vertically and having a slide at one end adapted to serve as a cutting board and also having serrated gripping members at one end which coact with a fixed serrated gripping member attached to one side of said end of the box for coaction with the gripping members on the slide. The opposite end of the box also has a foot engageable member to hold the box steady while the slide is being manipulated from an open position in which the fish is extended into the box with the exception of the head and the slide is then moved to engage the head between the serrated members referred to above in order that the mouth of the fish is positioned for removal of the hook therefrom.
