A hook setting device for securing a hook in a fish, which device includes a bifurcated frame having a lever pivotally secured in the frame bifurcation or slot, with one end of the lever secured to the bottom end of the frame by means of an elastic band and the opposite end of the lever receiving one end of a trigger line or cord. A trigger mechanism includes a ball attached to the trigger cord and adapted to seat in a ball seat located in the bottom end of the frame against the bias of the elastic band when the device is in cocked configuration. The top end of the frame is secured to a tree or other fixed support above a water body, in order to facilitate attaching a fishhook to the extending end of the trigger cord, baiting the fishhook, placing the fishhook in the water and setting the fishhook responsive to a fish taking the bait and tensioning the trigger cord to unseat the ball.
