Catch Phrase 2024

pad slammer reply :

Some of my buddies have pretty good catch phrases when they set the hook. Some are funny some are just straight up annoying. I don't think they actually realize there saying it. I personally don't say a thing when I hook up. I thought it would be fun to hear some of your catch phrases and if you do or don't have one. ;D

Shad_Master reply :

Several years ago I was fishing with a guy and throughout the day, he would occasionally grunt, groan or gasp - each time I would ask him if he had one on and he didn't - finally I asked him what do you say when you get a bite - he said "here, hold my beer".

Gangley reply :

"There he is"

Thats funny right there... Thanks for the laugh

fishermantony reply :

"There goes one."

Big Tom reply :

I usually say, "Fish."

deep reply :

I usually say "got one" pretty much aloud just after I set the hook, even when I am by myself. I think I picked it up from one of the pros.

The funny thing is that English is not my native language.

zerofivenismo reply :

GGGG-Unit! Just kidding; no catch phrase when I stick one.

BASSclary reply :

I have found myself recently saying "fish on" and not knowing it.

I believe I picked it up from Jeremy Wade of "Monster Fish" on TV.

pad slammer reply :

These are great guys...Keep them coming! Just talked to my buddy he said I say (hooked up) sometimes or

(thats a good one) but he did say it's rare i say anything. He says (there we go)

Shad_Master reply :

What's especially interesting to me about this is I am not consciously aware that I actually say anything - but it bugs me to death when another guy in the boat hooks one and actually doesn't say anything.

I.rar reply :

i say 'boo-yah!!!' and throw a couple fist pumps in there when theyre taking line.

nah , not really. i dont usually say anything since i fish by myself 95% of the time. but i have caught myself saying 'fish!' or 'she took it!' or something along those lines before.

rowyourboat reply :

im an "ike-aholic".... so i yell "BIG ONE!!!!, ITS HUGE!!!!!" even if its a dink haha

OHIO reply :

I usually say "Oh yeah" or "Yeah buddy"

JayJayBenham reply :

I dont catch too many fish but when i do i get pretty excited... ill yell all kinds of stuff...then you look stupid when you pull out a tiny fish

Stasher1 reply :

I don't believe I say anything when I catch one...but I have been known to blurt out expletives when I lose one. ;D

Senkoman12 reply :

"theres one", "fish on", "fish" for hooked fish and $%!#* when one is lost

Dwight Hottle reply :

"fish on"

Goose52 reply :

I use "fish on" when I think I need to announce that I'm now occupied with fighting/landing the fish; for instance, if I have nearby boat traffic and I might be drifting/not steering as I work the fish.

Otherwise, I often talk to the fish during the fight - like: "don't come unbuttoned on me," "what were you doing in that shallow water...don't you know the books say you're supposed to be deep right now," "nice fish, come to papa," etc, etc. ;D

Gale1980 reply :

i usually say "there he is" or when reeling in a stick ect.. something to the effect of "he's not a real big swimmer" or "he's not a big fan of swimming" or "he's a non swimmer"

BassThumb reply :

Once in a while, my buddy says, in his best Southern accent, "You gotta rip 'em back thru the sticks!" He says he's mocking a line from a corny fishing show he saw a while back.

I don't say much of anything when I hook up.

paangler3117 reply :

I say fish, fish on, or some variation!

Jim

K_Mac reply :

"There's one," is what pops out most of the time, even when I'm fishing alone. Like Goose I also find myself talking to the fish from time to time. Should I be concerned about these habits? :-/ To this point the fish have not talked back...

tbird reply :

I say "Got you you ba****d

swilly78 reply :

"Get On!" I have no idea why i say it, its just what usually comes out on the hookset. Also, like Goose and some others, I talk to the fish as Im playin it in.

Big Bass Chaser reply :

I usually say "Fish on", however if I reel down before I set the hook I often make something up on the spot. Today on a jig bite as I reeled down I said "And here we .." and then "GO!" when I set the hook. Also caught one on the crank and I believe I said "Ohp, there's one."

I have tears in my eyes...I've gotta use that on "ohp, there's one"

Frog Turds reply :

Triton Jones reply :

I say normally "there he is".

burce reply :

I usually say something like "there he is" or something, then talk to the fish when bringing it in like "come on baby come on" as I try to land it haha

90x reply :

" I found him sirrrrr!"

and

"Here we go"

and

my personal favorite

*hard hookset with grunting noise*

Syppy reply :

Dunno why, but lately I've been prone to cackling and proclaiming "GOTCHA!"

sockey reply :

For me, if I say anything, it's a "there he is!" when I set the hook, then maybe a "SUCKUH!" a la Mr. T when I get that fish by the lip

natanestaban reply :

'Hey net boy, get ready"

Elite Image Fishing reply :

There's one, that's 95% of the time, but sometimes I use a pretty weird one: " That's the spirit!"

Scorcher214 reply :

"son of.....?"

"Dammit!"

"How the?"

boneil reply :

if it's a bad day " well it's bout time" followed by an explicit

but usually it's " here we go", "there she is" or "hot d**n"

gotarheelz14 reply :

I usually just get excited and say "oohp!" when I let them take it a little I usually start to get a little more creative.

Last time I said PIG because well, he was a pig. He gobbled up that shakey head!

Casca reply :

Casca

'Hey net boy, get ready"

Nice. I call my son Netboy. It really gets under his skin.

The "catch" phrase starts "Fish On"... "Is it a keeper?" During a tourney it follows with" ...G Dammit it's a musky (or pike, walleye, etc.)"

WoolleyBass reply :

"There's one"

Roby

islandbass reply :

I recall doing this awhile back and it was a lot of fun.

I am a Got'em kind of person but have been known to vary it.

Other popular ones were:

me too! When I look over and someone is unhooking a fish, it's kinda like I don't understand... Didn't even know you had one on.

I usually say "I got it" then i'll talk to the fish as i'm reeling in, saying things like "come on girl, you can make it"

Fishing Cowgirl reply :

Mine is :

ohh....ohhh.. OHHH.!!!!

Rory_MO reply :

I say "good to go" making fun of one of my buddies.

D4u2s0t reply :

when my buddy gets a good one, he says "holy sxxt... get the net ready!" but we have never, not once carried a net on the boat lol.

Triton21 reply :

"GET THE NET", if my fishing buddy is not as fast as I think he should be it's "GET THE F*%&ING NET"

I would never complain about a musky....even in a tourny

6pointbuck2003 reply :

I normally say "here we go" then set the hook

pudmunk reply :

fish on

oooooooph (grunting)

love it

Nice_Bass reply :

Non tourney, i say "get me a beer"...I am not allowed to start drinking until i get a fish. (note: sometimes I must start drinking in order to catch a fish, so it is up to my own discretion)

Family time or tourney...I say nothing unless it is a pig...then I yell randomly.

christopherjake reply :

Got One!!!

christopherjake reply :

If it's a big one I would say "OH MAMA!! It's a big one, get the net!"

Jigfishn10 reply :

Usually "there it is" and lately it's followed up with "stay down"! I can't tell you how many have come unbuttoned lately after a jump or the fish races for the weeds you can't see. If they do come unbuttoned it's "WT.." You can fill in that blank. ;D

coryjames reply :

i say "what a sweet little butter ball".then send him cartwheeling over my shoulder

unknownbbq2 reply :

L a r r y reply :

When I feel those first few ticks while fishing soft plastics...I yell....Use them tiger teeth, bite it like a lil monkey

Bwickfisher reply :

I usually say "there he is", or "got one". If it's big I say " get the net, it's Bubba" or "he's a chunckster". I also talk a lot as I'm releasing them. I say stuff like "nice to meet ya" and " thanks buddy".

SuskyDude reply :

"There's one"

Various grunts.

"Slama-Jama ding-dong!" and "BOOM-shaka-laka!" have been used on special occasions, usually when under the influence. ;D

hookset on 3 reply :

"weeds...fish...dink...OMG its a hawg. It all depends. upon release I usually say "see ya" like Mr. Dance.

Dr. Watson reply :

"pit-chu pit-chu....got ya", just kidding Its more like "I have you now" (James Earl Jones voice)

Korea_Bassin reply :

A friend I fish with, if he's on the verge of getting skunked but finally hooks one up, he always yells out a Gerald Swindle-like "I DON'T SUUUUCK!"

NOLERSWAMP reply :

i'm ususally a "mmmhhmm" fella

gadawgsr1 reply :

I, too, fish alone much of the time and I think that is why when I do have someone with me, I have to call their name to get their attention; otherwise, they have no idea I have one in the boat. This is the case unless the fish splashes at the boat. Then... it speaks for itself and I don't have to say a word. --just smile. ;D It is at that point they always speak... You dawg! or You've got to be kidding me, another one? ...just sayin'. :

grimlin reply :

Today i put a beating on them small mouth river bass...I was consistently saying "Woooo baby" and "fly baby fly!" Every time they got some air time.

I looked like a dork out there today.... :-/ It's been so long since i had a day like this.I couldn't help myself. :-[

nashontheriver reply :

i usually go with an "ohhh yeah", or "Bam!" My most colorful phrases come out when one gets away!

culprit71 reply :

Yeah lately I've been fishing with my 9 yo daughter and 7 yo son and when we have a big one we say "Bruuuuuce" and when it's little we say "Nemo!"

KC Bass Fanatic reply :

I fish a lot of partner tournaments so I've conditioned myself to say "fish on" every time so my partner can grab the net. Usually it's 2-stage: One of us says "fish on!" then either "little one" or "get the net!".

Vickers reply :

I fish a lot with my brother in law. HE can NOT STAND that I say NOTHING! During the whole bite, hook set, fight and landing... I say NOTHING! He always gets mad because I have a bad habit of swinging em in the boat instead of netting them...

We were in Toledo and I had a 5 lb'er on side of the boat before he knew I was hooked up. The look on his face when he saw that hog laying on her side was priceless.

MichiganFisherman reply :

"Ohhh yeahhh!" (Snap into a Slim Jim!) ;D
