Abstract
A game to be played by two persons in competition or by one person against time, the game apparatus including a base member simulative of a boat on which is supported a vertical mast structure having a plurality of crossarms projecting outwardly at various levels, two pairs of strings which are tethered at one end to the top of the mast and each string having a hand grip at its other end, a pair of rings each surrounding one pair of the strings and having a hook secured thereto, and a plurality of game pieces each simulative of a fish and having an aperture for receiving the hook. The game pieces are removably supported in an upright position on the base member, half of them on either side of the mast, to be engaged by a corresponding hook. The object of the game, when played in competition, is to be the first player to hang one of his fish on each of the crossarms by grasping the handgrips and manipulating the strings to engage one of the fish on the hook, raising the fish by pulling the strings apart to line it up with a crossarm on the mast, and returning the hook by bringing the strings together, to engage another fish.
