"crushed it"

"swiped at it" ~ for a missed topwater hit


fishing user avatarbuzzed bait reply : 

my dad would say he "swallered it" (swallowed)

 


fishing user avatarNice_Bass reply : 

"Took him for a walk"

(when fishing a worm or jig and you lift on the rod a few extra times as it swims to make sure it is on prior to setting the hook).

its not exactly a term of endearment as you should have set the hook already...but we have all done it! 


fishing user avatarblckshirt98 reply : 

For me a bite is a "hit" 90% of the time, if it's an aggressive bite I'll use "crushed it".


fishing user avatarcontium reply : 

I only use hit. For some reason, most of the other terms annoy me. I think it because I watch too much fishing on TV/youtube.


fishing user avatarWRB reply : 

The most famous saying for a strike is "hook up", covers all fishing situations.

I'm bit

I'm on

big fish

get the net

All the above in that order.

fishing user avatarYakPirate reply : 

inhaled it! --- when fishing alone 

Nom Nom time! --- when fishing with the kids 

 


fishing user avatarRB 77 reply : 

"Crushed it"!


fishing user avatarRHuff reply : 

We always say smoked it on a hard bite. 


fishing user avatarKtho reply : 

Choked it

 


fishing user avatarFishinthefish reply : 

Hit, fish on, slammed it if the bite is aggressive.


fishing user avatarOCdockskipper reply : 

"Hammered it" or "Hit it like a freight train" for moving baits or when a big channel catfish grabs your lure.  A much more subtle "There he is" for bottom bouncing baits.

 


fishing user avatarGORDO reply : 

I think this will be the new one to catch on among us: Avocadoed it!


fishing user avatarA-Jay reply : 

My reactions seem to be gender specific ~ I'll often go with either . . . .

"She Choked it"  or  "He Hammered it".

I'll also openly admit that I can never determine gender by virtue of just the strike.

Once it's in the net - I don't actually care.

That's sexist...

I usually say something along the lines of, "Hey, it IS a fish".  If I say anything at all.  I'm usually too afraid I'll jinx it.


fishing user avatarthirtysixit reply : 

"She nibbled my cricket!"

No way ~ I'm an equal opportunity angler.

It's not like I'm only throwing a pink Rat-L-Trap.

world record!


fishing user avatarPflueger Man reply : 

Slammered 


fishing user avatarBankbeater reply : 

Had a good hit.


fishing user avatarottosmagic13 reply : 

When fishing with people it's usually a quick "Fish!," "Got one!" or "There we go!" 

By myself it's usually just a smile when hooked and a quick "woot!" when they are landed. 

Favorite ones are:

"Crushed" for those hard strikes. As in: "I thought it was a 10# the way that little guy crushed my jig" 

"Choked" or "swallowed" for the fish that are hooked deep. As in: "Man, it really choked on that swim bit" 

"Buggered" for when they hook themselves funny. As in: "Awe man, he buggered himself on those trebles" or "he buggered himself coming through the slop" 

"Doubled!" for when me or my friend hooks up when the other is already got one. As in: "Wooo! Doubled! he crushed it in the same spot as yours!"

"Suck it, Gerry" for when my friend Gerry says I'm crazy for fishing a spot or a specific lure. As in: him "You'll never get a fish in that current" <hook up> Me "Suck it, Gerry"  


fishing user avatarreb67 reply : 

"There it is"

"Here we go"

And for some reason to many times this year it's been

"d**n it"

My tournament partners favorite is

"That had to be a bream"


fishing user avatarCNYBassin reply : 

Smashed

Slammed

Nailed

Choked

Hammered

I instinctively ALWAYS say "There we go." when setting the hook on a fish. I don't even know I'm saying it half the time. I'm also guilty of saying "good one" a lot and then reeling in a 1lb fish. 


fishing user avatarRhino68W reply : 

Choked it

Killed it

Inhaled it

Crushed it

Just bit it and took off


fishing user avatargeo g reply : 

Some unusual terms I have sometimes used:  

                                           She Slammed it!

                                           She's just messen with it!

                                            Pounded the bait!

                                             It was a pig fest!

                                            Its a dink fest!

                                            A wolf pack bite!

                                             

                                            


fishing user avatarBrikon reply :
