A system and a fishing-rod-holder with integral fish-bite-detector are disclosed. The fishing-rod-holder may comprise: a substantially hollow-elongate-member, the fish-bite-detector, and a substrate-engagement-means. The hollow-elongate-member may comprise a receiving-cavity. The receiving-cavity may be configured to removably hold a fishing-rod-handle. The fish-bite-detector may comprise a triggering-means, a bite-indication-means, and a circuit. The triggering-means and the bite-indication-means may be in communication with each other via the circuit. The substrate-engagement-means may be attached to the hollow-elongate-member. The substrate-engagement-means may be configured to removably engage a substrate such that the fishing-rod-holder may be removably mounted to the substrate. When the substrate-engagement-means may be removably engaging the substrate and the fishing-rod-handle may be removably inserted and removably held within the receiving-cavity, a fish biting on a baited hook may trigger the triggering-means, wherein the triggering-means may activate the circuit, which may activate the bite-indication-means, wherein an angler may be alerted to the fish bite.
