Nice_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!
blckshirt98 reply :
For me a bite is a "hit" 90% of the time, if it's an aggressive bite I'll use "crushed it".
contium 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.
WRB 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.

Nom Nom time! --- when fishing with the kids
RB 77 reply :
"Crushed it"!
RHuff reply :
We always say smoked it on a hard bite.
Ktho reply :
Choked it
Fishinthefish reply :
Hit, fish on, slammed it if the bite is aggressive.
OCdockskipper 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.
GORDO reply :
I think this will be the new one to catch on among us: Avocadoed it!
A-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.

"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.

ottosmagic13 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"
reb67 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"
CNYBassin 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.
Rhino68W reply :

Killed it
Inhaled it
Crushed it
Just bit it and took off
