A fish hook setting apparatus which has a main support, a rod holding arm pivotally attached to the main support, a spring between the main support and an e:nd of the rod holding arm, a horizontal extension attached to the top end of the main support and a trigger apparatus at the outer end of the horizontal extension. The trigger apparatus consists of rotatable release plate attached to a support member, a line hook arm attached to the rotatable release plate, and a pivoting release arm attached to the opposite side of the cross member. In operation, a fishing rod, after the baited hook is casted, is placed in the rod holding arm. The rod holding arm, holding the fishing rod, is pivoted to a set position where the pole extends between the release arm and the rotating release plate on the trigger apparatus. This action also applies bias to the spring. The release arm is pivoted downward over the fishing pole and aligned under the rotating release plate. The rotating release plate is rotated over the release arm to a selected position. The fishing line is connected to the line hook. When a fish pulls on the line, the line hook arm is pulled and the rotatable release plate rotates. As the rotatable plate rotated the release arm is freed and the rod holding arm flips upward along with the fishing pole therein. In this manner the fish hook is set. Once set, the combined spring action and pole action will play the fish until the fisherman returns to tend to the rig.
