I do. It's because its the adrenaline rush going through my body and also because I get excited. I yell things like 'BOOM'. I'm talking about Michael Iaconelli and other Elites on Bassmasters or like Brent Ehler from FLW.
Just curious if other anglers do such thing?
Umm no...especially no when im tournament fishing
Im in the big ones over here, come get em boys!
You never lifted a big one over the side and had some slimeball slide in and get in front of the bank you were working or start fishing the same point? It happens so often here I expect it.
I have on a few occasions, but generally no.
No!!!! I don't need the company.
Yes, I berate that big mouthed bastige, And then I bodyslam him back in the water.
Yeah I usually yell down his mouth as loud as I can, then slam him in the livewell, and cuss out a dog.
No, I act like I have caught a fish before. It's no big deal.
Only when I end up with one of the trebles in my finger while the other two are in them...

I hope you all know that I was completely joking ^^^
At this point during the bitter cold and probably 2 more months left....id yell if i snagged a minnow at this point.
It's more of a sigh of relief that I got her in and the line didn't snap or she didn't shake the hook!
No. I'm always excited, but I keep my mouth shut
I dont like actually yell out loud. Just talk to myself, like the bass tries to jump out and shake the lure out, Ill say no no no dont you dare just in talking way. Once I land the bass in, I usually say Bam not very loud like Ike does.
I don't think I could see myself doing that.
I have a couple times, but more out of sheer relief I got the bass in. Normally when I have done that only a kayak fishing buddy is near me, I don't do it when others are nearby.
I'm usually pretty silent as I'm concentrating on getting the fish reeled in.
I usually imitate a good ole Bill Dance comment like "that's a mule my boy"

I yelled when I saw this, thats some nasty chit. I feel the pain just looking at it... oddly I can't look away.
No! Anytime I catch a fish, large or small, it's a reverent moment of relief and the answer to the question during the fight of - how big?!!
I've always seen catching a large bass as pure luck on my or anyone else's part and therefore nothing to shout about regardless of how experienced. I'm more into the immediate question of why here and why this bait? Most of the time the answers are illusive but nonetheless a mystery - as mysterious and awesome as me or my partner being in the right place and time.
I leave the acting like a maniac to Ike and others. I see it as a Richard Sherman act of disrespect to the fish which I have the greatest respect for, adrenaline rush or not.
Occasionally, but very rarely. I'm more likely to let out a shout when I lose one. You'd be surprised how many guys still try to come fish nearby just because they hear you make some noise.
No
But, I do yell if I end up with a hook in my hand.

Those guys are playing it up for the cameras. Plus, when you are playing for big money, there is a lot of emotion involved.
I do sometimes but not loud....except the time this group of three raced in front of my dad and I to get to a sweet spot before us...they caught nothing and moved and we came in behind them and I caught a small one on the first cast. I hooped just to let em know.

What?
I did once. I and my brother-in-law were fishing a submerged boat that had sunk decades before when he tapped me on the shoulder and whispered that there was a huge smallmouth in front of us. I dropped a Senko in front of it and the fish looked at it. The whole time I waited I whispered, "Eat it...eat it"...and then it just hammered the hell out of it.
Well, I shouted (roared really) like it was the first fish I ever caught. I don't know why but I guess I just got caught up in the moment.
Outside of that, I tend to be pretty Zen the moment I catch a fish.
No way....I will pump my fist, but yelling like Ike is irritating to me!! Especially when I feel sound can spook fish.
I have from time to time gotten caught up in the moment and let one fly. Never really do it if there's another boat in sight though.
More often than not, I let out a GIANT NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO when the pig I had hooked, gets away.

Maybe there's a difference catching a large bag during a classic tournament, but even when I fished bass tournaments, the loudest noise I would make would be the sigh of relief not coming back to the weigh-in skunked! The only loud comment I have made concerning the loss of a nice one at the boat, .... I can't repeat here.
What I meant using the Seahawks' Sherman as an example, was the low class rant made after the game about another player after his team won. I don't care for spectacles nor unsportsmanlike conduct. To each his own.
If I ever get one over 8, I'm not really sure what I'll do.
Lose control of my bowels and bladder?
Cry?
Forget the english language and make cave man noises?
Pass out?
Gyrate my hips in a sexually explicit way?
Call my dad?
I'm not sure, but i'll let you guys know when it happens.
Not after I catch one (well, perhaps a quick "Woo Hoo!") but during the fight I've been known to let out a resounding "Aghh!!!! Stay down, stay down!!"

If I do catch the biggun, I won't yell... I'll just slap it's mama.
Yeah I only do if it is a big fish, but I will talk to it if it tries to get away for sure
If I'm fishing with a friends then sometimes I do, mostly just to see the other guys reaction. If I am fishing alone then never, well at least that I can remember.

If it's anything like what I did, you'll shake, a lot. Then you'll get a bunch of pictures where you either have a big goofy grin, you look very confused, or like you're having an out of body experience. You'll turn her loose and keep wondering to yourself if that actually just happened or not
As for the OP's question, I usually have a celebratory smile and laugh but never any yelling.
I'm not big into yelling, but then again, I haven't caught any 10 pounders yet. I usually just try to hold back a huge smile. I'm more often by myself anyway, no one to hear me yell I suppose.
I try to scream, but usually find myself too winded from all the break dancing on the front deck.
I use to, but not anymore.
The only yelling that might come from our boat is during the battle, for instance during a high jump or when a hog breaks off.
Once the fish is beaten and in hand, it's time for quiet enjoyment, and thinking about what I might've learned from this catch.
I reserve high-fives and accolades for my boat mates, especially novice anglers and youngsters.
Furthermore, if you want to keep your sweet-spot to yourself, you'll want to keep it on the down-low.

I do yell......but usually something like, "snagged again!", "stupid weeds!", or "another drum?"
