MillerTime reply :

Anybody else do anything fishing related that makes people think your a few fries short of a happy meal? I'm not talking about the "normal" stuff like religiously organizing and checking your gear, I'm talking downright loony. For example I talk to my jigs when I rig them up. I usually say if I was a fish I'd eat you or something along those lines. Anyone else care to fess up? ;D ;D ;D

islandbass reply :

You just about got me covered! ;D

When I catch a dink, I look it straight in the eyes and tell it to tell her bigger siblings to bite my line with a pretty please, beggin' on my knees.

Here fishy fishy fishy in a nice voise COME BITE MY F#@! Hook In a evil voise

Jake P reply :

I usually just tell the bait how good it looks and just to build its self esteem up i will say "if i were a fish i would eat you right now". Thats when im rigging them up, i don't go to my tackle boxes and pick a lure to talk to, im not crazy.

bassfanatick reply :

"Here fishy fishy, eat up this is good for you ;D" as I'm reeling in.

Evan Pease reply :

I was fooling with a KingKong on shore and this couple was saying," Is he really fishing with that?" and stuff like that. It was funny.

guitarkid reply :

You think, if my yard was flooded I would throw this there and that up there.

I tend to say "Ooo that was a nice cast" or "Oh that place looks fishy" even when I'm by myself.

Eddie Munster reply :

When I make a great cast (shorefisherman here) say under some overhanging trees, down a treeline right next to a downed tree, I'll imitate a line from the Disney movie 'The Goofy Movie'........'The perfect cast!' in Goofy's voice. Pretty dang weird if you ask me.

I'll usually recite the fishin 4 benjaminz Quantuhttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6n88qAEPvo&feature=relatedm commercial

Tom Bass reply :

Howdy

I find interesting that I am not the only guy out there chanting "Here fishy fishy fishy" while I'm fishing. 8-)

I always talk to my fish when I am unhooking them. I reassure them and praise them. My fishing partners think I'm a little nutty but that's okay...Who isn't "Nuts"that is a Bass fisherman? ;D

MALTESE FALCON reply :

I go fishing. Isn't that eccentric enough????LOL

Handy reply :

When I catch one I will say "thanks buddy". I mainly do this after going a long while without a bite. Or the ussual "I got one".

ventureboat reply :

When my lure hits the water, I say out loud several times a day, "somethin eat that thing". Whether by myself or with a partner. And I kiss everything big enough to go in the livewell and accompany me to the weigh in

I do the "Thanks Buddy" thing also.

Funny thing though, both of my most recent "Off's", in which I lost a GOOD fish as it was jusmping out of the water, hence spitting the Bait out of it's mouth, were next to another boat. On both occasions, I hit my knees and crouched in silence for a good 30 seconds. My last Off, I was crouched so long in disbelief and disgust, that they guy in a boat about 50 yards from me asked me if I was alright. :'( I replied to him that I was, then he said, "That's cool. Cause if I lost that Fish, I'd be in Tears."

Chad. reply :

I always say " If i were a fish i'd eat this"

Ellesar reply :

I have a song and dance that I do at the start of every fishing trip. Once I get to my initial fishing spot I do this little dance where I sort of slowly dance in place and move around in a circle while chanting "bring the fish! bring the fish!". Obviously I can't dance around too much in the boat.

If the day turns out really slow, I've been known to perform this ancient rite again in an attempt to placate the fishing gods and have them bestow upon me great fishing success.

surfer reply :

You mean the normal stuff like spend X amount on a boat designed for fishing gear and ease of fishing then spend X on gear, then spend X time getting to the lake and throwing lures, then spending 30 seconds excitedly reeling in a fish, just to admire it for another 30 seconds an throw it back with only a memory to go home with. No, nothing abnormally eccentric.

bassbanger reply :

ITs funny how many people say the if i were a fish id eat it. When i dont get a bite for a bit i look at my wife and say "whats wrong with this thing if i were a fish id eat it!"

lmao

Back2fishing reply :

Have you been talking to my wife????? ;D

Jeff H reply :

Because I fish deep most of the time, my eyes are my flasher and I've become quite good at "mental imaging". When I'm fishing I sometimes describe my "mental images" and usually the guy in the back thinks I'm nuts jabbering away. I probably am because I've done this when alone too, which means I'm talking to myself. My 2 boys have gotten used to it though.

iamjoe2 reply :

your not crazy if you talk to yourself....

your only crazy if you talk back.

kms399 reply :

if I have a good cast I will say oohh yeah in a porn star voice.

KYntucky Warmouth reply :

Man, I do alot of the things already said.

One day me and a friend (Big Tom) spent probably 2-3 hrs deciding what we were each going to say when we hooked into a fish.

I also created a dance type maneuver that is reserved for the release of a keeper.

bigbasser121 reply :

Ok fish, just bite the hook and we'll have a little fight and then I'll put you right back. No harm done.

NitroMan reply :

HAHAHA I figured this subject would come up sooner or later. I was just talking with my Fiance the other day about this...

If I have a big trip coming up I will take all of my tackle out of my boat and re string all my lines and take all my tackle and scatter it all over the living room floor (Just to tick her off!!!! ;D ;D ;D)

If I have a "pretty" colored lure in her eyes she will ask me if I have ever caught a fish on it, the last time she asked me that I was hold a large deep diver and I said "hell no, but If you were a fish would you eat it???" Then like a retard I acted like I was going to bite the lure and ended up barely hooking myself in the chin... Darn I was ticked off the rest of the night. But she got her laugh. ;D

gar-tracker reply :

In tournaments I always say come on I just want to borrow you, ill let you go.

Andrew Coleman reply :

as im reeling in a bait i usually say " come on, come on, come on!"

and then when im using soft plastics, i usually get crazy pictures of fish sitting around my worm just kinda lookin at it...

and ill say things under my breath like "oh my god...." "why don't you bite?"

DewittBassmaster reply :

haha I introduced my friend to fishing this spring. Every time i go with him he gets a kick out of watching me talk to my lures as I tie them on . And when I do something wrong I start talking to myself telling me how bad I am. He just laughs.

bb champ reply :

come on big mama BITE that thing!! >

Brian_Reeves reply :

I'll sing "I can see clearly now the rain is gone" or "I go out walkin after midnight" while I'm flipping or pitching laydowns, docks, and timber.
