Fishing information management system and processing method

A method of processing fishing information in a fishing information management system that includes a fishing rod to which a fishing reel with a spool capable of winding a fishing line is attached, comprising:

• detecting, by a fishing line unwinding commencement detector, commencement of unwinding of the fishing line by the fishing reel;
• detecting, by a spool rotation detector, rotation of the spool;
• detecting operation information of at least one of the fishing reel and the fishing rod by an operation information detector;
• extracting the operation information each time the unwinding of the fishing line commences, and creating an operation information list that aggregates several operation information, by an operation information list creation portion;
• receiving fishing information by a processor from an external device;
• associating most recent operation information in the operation information list with the fishing information by the processor before the fishing information is generated, the most recent operation information corresponding to the most recent unwinding of the fishing line, and
• displaying the operation information list and the fishing information that are associated with each other by an indicator, wherein
• the external device comprises a fish-finder,
• the operation information list is associated with fish school information acquired by the fish-finder,
• the fishing reel is a double-bearing reel or a spinning-type reel,
• in a case where the fishing reel is a double-bearing reel, the fishing line unwinding commencement detector detects that
• (i) the fishing line is enabled to be unwound when fishing line unwinding commencement detector detects that a connected clutch is disconnected,
• (ii) the fishing line is being unwound when the spool rotation detector detects that the spool starts rotating, and
• (iii) the fishing line is not-unwindable when the fishing line unwinding commencement detector detects that the disconnected clutch is connected,
• the fishing line unwinding commencement detector detecting the commencement of the unwinding of the fishing line when (i), (ii), and (iii) occur in sequence, and
• in a case where the fishing reel is a spinning-type reel, the fishing line unwinding commencement detector detects that
• (i) the fishing line is being unwound when the fishing line unwinding commencement detector detects that a bale arm opens, and
• (ii) the fishing line to be not-unwindable when the fishing line unwinding commencement detector detects that the bale arm is closed,
• the fishing line unwinding commencement detector detecting the commencement of the unwinding of the fishing line when (i) and (ii) occur in sequence.
