A multifunctional fisherman chair includes a chair with pivotally attached seat and back sections selectively articulated between folded and unfolded positions. Such a chair further has a support frame connected to the seat section and spaced from the back section respectively. Such a support frame is selectively adapted between collapsed and extended positions in such a manner that the support frame lays generally coplanar with the seat and back sections when adapted to the collapsed position. The present invention further includes a mechanism for holding the plurality of existing fishing rods adjacent to the seat section in such a manner that the existing fishing rods extend upwardly and forwardly therefrom. A mechanism is included for automatically notifying a user when a fish takes bait from at least one of the plurality of existing fishing rods.
