A device for holding a fish stringer, comprising an L-shaped frame made up of a base plate and a shoulder plate perpendicular to the base plate, and including jaw means pivotally mounted on the base plate for engagement with a flexible line such as a fish stringer between the jaw means and the shoulder plate. The jaw means describes an arc about the pivot which intersects the shoulder plate near a perpendicular line between the jaw pivot point and the shoulder plate. Normally the stringer can be easily removed by pulling a portion of it near the jaw means in direction perpendicular to the base plate. However, cover means are optionally provided for selectively and slidably covering the jaw means and the shoulder plate to selectively obstruct and not obstruct the removal of the stringer line from between the jaw means and the shoulder plate in a direction perpendicular to the plane of the base plate. Mounting means are attached to the frame and include stem means on the base plate which is sized to cooperatively associate with the gunwale of the boat.

A device for restraining a flexible line such as a fish stringer, said device including: A. a frame having a base plate and a shoulder plate perpendicular to the base plate; B. jaw means pivotally mounted on said base plate in position to move on an arc approximately tangent to said shoulder plate in a first direction toward said shoulder plate and in a second direction away from said shoulder plate, said jaw means approaching said shoulder plate at least as close as the thickness of a line to be restrained; C. mounting means for mounting said frame on an object; and D. cover means including a cover parallel and spaced from said base plate and movable in direction parallel to the base plate between a closed position wherein said shoulder plate and said jaw means are covered and an open position wherein said shoulder plate and a portion of said jaw means adjacent said shoulder plate are uncovered.
