The apparatus of claim 1 wherein: a. the pair of receiving members of the mounting base consist of slotted extensions welded to the mounting base; and,b. the pair of engaging members of the lower ends of the main support frame consist of a tab, where each tab is configured to engage with a corresponding slotted extension, allowing for easy and secure engagement between the lower ends of the main support frame and a lower mounting structure of the mounting base. 7. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a pair of wheels configured for connection to lower ends of the main support frame. 8. The apparatus of claim 1 further comprising a handle configured for connection to the main support frame and a kick stand connected to the main support frame in a manner that allows the kick stand to be positioned in a first position when the apparatus is installed in a pick-up truck and positioned in a second position when the apparatus is not installed in a pick-up truck. 9. The apparatus of claim 8, further comprising a removable wheeled foot assembly configured for attachment to the kick stand. 10. The apparatus of claim 7 wherein each of the pair of wheels is removable from the main support frame. 11. The apparatus of claim 8 wherein the handle is removable. 12. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein each individual rod holder is welded to a rod holder support bracket and each such support bracket is welded to either the first or second rod holder support member. 13. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the main support frame and the first and second rod holder support members are made of aluminum alloy tubing of at least 1.25 inches in diameter, such that the fishing rod holder is capable of supporting at least 50 pounds of fishing rod and reel combinations. 14. The apparatus of claim 9 further comprising a pair of removable wheel assemblies configured for connection to the main support frame. 15. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the main support frame is further comprised of a plurality of metal tubing pieces welded together. 16. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the mounting base is secured to a pick-up truck bed at four locations, with each such location being at least one foot from each other location. 17. The apparatus of claim 1 wherein the rod holder further comprises a means for securing the kickstand in either a retracted or extended position. 18. An apparatus comprising: a. a mounting base made from aluminum alloy at least ⅛ of an inch in thickness and further comprising: i. a horizontal base member configured to be bolted to a lower section of a pick-up truck bed;ii. a pair of slotted extensions welded to the horizontal base member;iii. a vertical base member configured to be bolted to an upper rim section of a pick-up truck bed;iv. a first quick release mechanism; and,v. a pair of quick release flanges configured to allow adjustment of the quick release mechanism along two axes; and,b. a fishing rod holder comprising: i. a main support frame constructed from aluminum alloy tubing of at least 1.25 inches diameter;ii. a first rod holder support member constructed from aluminum alloy tubing of at least 1.25 inches diameter and connected to the main support frame;iii. a second rod holder support member constructed from aluminum alloy tubing of at least 1.25 inches diameter and connected to the main support frame;iv. at least 8 individual rod holders, where each individual rod holder is connected to the first or second rod holder support member;v. a pair of tabs connected to lower ends of the main support frame;vi. a quick release mechanism; and,vii. a means for locking the fishing rod holder to the mounting base. 19. The apparatus of claim 18 wherein the horizontal member and the vertical member of the mounting base are made from a single sheet of aluminum alloy that is bent into the desire form. 20. A fishing rod holder comprising: a. a main support frame constructed from all-welded aluminum alloy tubing having a diameter of at least 1.25 inches;b. a first rod holder support member constructed from aluminum alloy tubing of at least 1.25 inches diameter and welded to the main support frame;c. a second rod holder support member constructed from aluminum alloy tubing of at least 1.25 inches diameter and welded to the main support frame;d. at least four individual rod holders connected to the first rod holder support member;e. at least five individual rod holders connected to the second rod holder support member;f. a quick release mechanism for securing the fishing rod holder to a mounting base installed in a bed of a pick-up truck;g. a means for locking the fishing rod holder to the mounting base; and,wherein the fishing rod holder is capable of supporting at least 100 pounds when installed in the bed of a pick-up truck. 21.
