The present invention relates to a foot operated fishing net tipping apparatus
releasably attached to a fishing boat comprising: a boat-attaching portion, a net-holding
portion, a lock portion, a foot pedal portion and connecting members. A conventional
fishing net is therefore frictionally attached within an opening of the net-attaching
portion, which rotably pivots atop the boat-attaching portion. A foot pedal is
linked to the net-attaching portion as such to allow the pedal's motion to be transferred
to the net-attaching portion. A fisherman can raise and lower the fishing net with
one foot, thereby freeing both hands for the fishing rod.
