Hook the lone clip to your boat. Put a nice salmon on each of the other clips. Wait for the sea lion that has been snorting around to hook his teeth into the stringer and enjoy a ride that would put a good bull rider to shame! If you survive the experience I'll bet you will not hang your catch outside the boat again. Experience comes from bad judgment.

I always thought that you clipped it on your belt when you're bank fishing and hung your tackle, lunch, water bottles and stuff off of...
Thats an Old school Stringer. Where you kept your caught fish. Hooked one on to each clip and clipped the last one to the side / back of the boat.

That kind is still actively sold. The Wallyworld by me carries them.
Allows the fish to stay alive quite well. Especially usefull if your getting near the your limit and have to release a smaller fish to keep a bigger one.

I used that kind in the 1940s.
it replaces rope for holding fish, they are called fish stringers. open the end and slide thru mouth and and gill and be careful not hurt fish, i used them but after a few times i felt i was tortureing the fish and practiced catch release except for trout which went into livewell
