CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001]This application is based on provisional application Ser. No. 60/757,061, filed on Jan. 06, 2006. STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY SPONSORED RESEARCH OR DEVELOPMENT [0002]Not Applicable DESCRIPTION OF ATTACHED APPENDIX [0003]Not Applicable BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0004]This invention relates generally to the field of sportfishing and more specifically to a fighting chair for boating big gamefish that is energy efficient and ergometric. Fighting chairs have been used as an aid in landing large game fish since the beginning of the sport in the 1920s. Functionally the equipment in use currently has changed little since the first rods and reels and chairs were developed. The large chairs are bolted to the deck on a pivot pipe that allows the chair to rotate so the angler can face the fish. Normally the butt of the rod is in a pivoting gimbal and the rod is held by a handle above the reel. A harness that goes around the buttocks or shoulders of the angler is often attached to the reel. The line is brought in by pulling the rod toward the angler. When the top of the stroke is reached the rod is lowered and the line recovered on the reel. There is a seat in which the angler sits and a pivoting gimbal attached to the seat in which to rest the rod butt. There often is a footrest that the angler can brace against and allow limited use of the legs to bring in the line on the rod. Often the angler will use a harness around and under the hips. Sometime soapy water is applied between the seat and harness to allow the angler to slide somewhat in the seat. The major forces used to move the rod are the arm and back muscles and to a limited degree, the leg muscles. It is very strenuous using a conventional chair and the sport has the highest mortality rate of any due to the strain and exhaustion causing heart attacks. [0005]A number of chairs are currently offered by various manufacturers which are normally fixed mounted to the deck of a boat [0006]Major deficiencies in current chairs are the following. They allow limited use of the strongest muscles in the body, the leg muscles and instead rely on the arms and back. [0007]The gimbal in which the rod butt rests is attached to the seat and has limited or no adjustment. Because of the location on the seat, travel of the rod tip is limited to about the vertical position. There is little or no adjustment on the gimbal to allow for variations in tackle geometries, angler physiologies and the direction the fish goes. The larger chairs are bolted to the deck and can not easily be removed or transported. The practice of soaping under the chair is dangerous since if it spills to the deck the deck becomes very slippery. PRIOR ART U.S. Patents [0008]U.S. Pat. No. 1,406,571 [0009]U.S. Pat.
