A system and method for managing and tracking fishing/hunting rules and regulations is provided. The system generally comprises a global positioning system (GPS), a processor operably connected to the GPS, a power supply, a display operably connected to the processor, and a non-transitory computer-readable medium coupled to the processor and having instructions stored thereon. The system and method are designed to easily and conveniently compile and store information or data related to wildlife sports. The system may use this information to help a user comply with state and federal rules and regulations via the creation of registration strategies and via indicia.

A knot tying device is described. Embodiments of the knot tying device can include, but are not limited to, a shaft, a spring, a slide member, an elastomeric member, and a nut. The shaft can include a slot for receiving a fishing line therethrough and trapping the fishing line between the slide member and the elastomeric member of the knot tying device. When the fishing line is secured to the knot tying device, the knot tying device can be implemented to thread the fishing line through and around the fishing line based on a type of knot being tied.

A deck mount fishing rod holder apparatus for securing fishing rods without clamps includes a base having a base top side, a base bottom side, a mounting portion and a plurality of arm portions. A plurality of mounting apertures receives an engagement portion of a seat post of a seat on a boat to secure the base to rest on a deck of the boat. A plurality of rod holders is pivotably coupled to the base top side of the arm portions. A holder bottom side of each rod holder is angled to rest flush on the base top side in a fish position. A cylindrical holder sidewall extends away from the base top side at an angle greater than 90°. Each rod holder secures a fishing rod and is pivotable back towards the base top side to allow for hook setting without removing the fishing rod.
