Hooking into a Bass ... What's Your Phrase? 2024

islandbass reply :

Just curious what you guys say when you hook up. For me it's mostly Got 'em, and an occassional fish on when I fish amongst salmon anglers. :

eastkybass reply :

Mostly it is yes, but occasionally I will say got'em.

Gatorbassman reply :

"There's one"

MattStrykul reply :

"Got one"

"There he is"

Sometimes I say nothing, my hookset is loud enough ;D

MALTESE FALCON reply :

Typically I'll say "I'm on" or if it's a big one, "Get the net".

Like Matt said, sometimes the hookset says it all.

"There's one"

This is what I say, but I cast my vote for "There he is" (I figured it was close enough.)

ring fry reply :

"There's one. "

Once in a while its "oh %^*&, it's a good one"

SDoolittle reply :

I like to say "FISH ON", but most of the time it's "#@$&, MISSED HIM".

SPEEDBEAD. reply :

I let the rod ripping through the air speak for itself....

Not a big Ike fan, so I am a little more subdued in my approach. I have been known to grunt on occasion LOL

Masshole Mike reply :

i like to give an emphatic "YEEEEAAAAUUUH BOY!" once in a while.

BiggerWorm reply :

With out a doubt "Get the Net"! Which is occasionally followed by the unfortunate "Ahh forget it, it's a dink".

Daniel My Brother reply :

If I'm fishing out of the back of my friend Craig's boat, I try to land the fish without a sound...easier to do with smaller fish.

Then I shout "CRAIG!" and when he spins around I'm already holding the fish.

I call it Ninja Fishing.

Jimzee reply :

Small fish, I don't say anything.

Over six pounds, Lots of "colorful" phrases.

Fish MD reply :

"d**n...that actually worked"

Or KaaaaPOW!

fourbizz reply :

There SHE is.

If its a male that means that its under 5 or 6 pounds so i usually just say "F___, its a dink"

Joel W reply :

When I'm fishing with my partner, we always say fish on. Yet, when I'm fishing with just about anyone else, it's usually: Got 'em. Now come to Papa.

Bob Kavanaugh reply :

Just an "Ummmphh!" as I set the hook.

otto reply :

I usually say get the net or got one

Bassackward reply :

MUDDY MAN ........I like your style. Ha! The funny thing about that is that even if I do set the hook and realize that I had weeds my response to my buddy is always " Oh man, just missed a biggun!" Gotta love it

flipin4bass reply :

Come to PaPPa!.......Who's yo daddie!

Korea_Bassin reply :

My two favorites both come from Gerald Swindle

detroit1 reply :

This is largest bass in all of KAZAKHSTAN ! High 5! She hit lure made by the gypsys...VERY NICE!

Jeff H reply :

Mine comes from Jim Carrey in the movie "The Mask".

"Somebody stop me!"

RoLo reply :

Quote
"Somebody STOP Me!"

That's a great line to use after you've boated the "second" double-digit bass during the same day!!

Roger

oxbowbass reply :

"That's a big one!" - regardless of size, and

"We're fishing now", and

"Come on baby", and the obligatory...

"Come to Papa."

Nothing original here unfortunately. If it's over 6lbs, I usually have to take a few minutes off and sit down to get back under control.

Fishing Doug reply :

Oddly enough, when I hook a bass, I don't say anything-I am always nervous about losing the fish-not sure why, I rarely lose a fish. With that being said, my fishing partner knows when I hook one-I fish the front of the boat and my hookset sometimes rocks the boat as if I had run it up on shore! ;D ;D ;D

When the bass gets in the boat, different story, A four letter word usually applies. I need to find more friendly words to shout. Do bass get offended easily? ;D

ww2farmer reply :

Since I am by myself most of the time I don't say anything. I have fished with guys who went Ike every time they hooked up, IMHO, while a good show on the pro level, makes for an annoying partner.

We don't have DD's up here. I usually use it after I get several fish. It just came out one day and it seemed to amuse my 6yr old son so it has kind of stuck now.

ejtaylor822 reply :

Come to Papa - don't know where I got that from but it always seems to be the first thing out of my mouth followed by one or more of the following in no particular order: "No, stay out of there", "don't jump", "stay on", "get over here", "resistance is futile", "easy, now", "who's your Daddy?".

smallieking reply :

well first u got to call out the bite i go bite....hold on....got him...(then when u get them to the boat) oooo YA thats a biggen

ILfisherman reply :

"Gotcha B*#@^ !"

fishfordollars reply :

There's one

jaystraw reply :

When I first started fishing senkos, I was landing a ton of fish at this one pond and the other two guys were not catching anything, so I said:

"$5 a senko!"

One guy thought it was hilarious, one did not.

I did give them both some senko's for free, and we all caught some fish!

oh and my buddy says "Bass Club" when he lands the first bass.

VABasser reply :

Definately "Theres one" for me. If whoever I'm fishin with hooks up I usually say something along the lines of "you lucky wretched"

edit: wretched haha i guess the other is banned

Under the Radar reply :

Uugghh!! Got em

Matt Fly reply :

When they are good ones and I got some line out there,

I'm always pointing out when you see that line shooting out from the boat.

SHE'S COMING UP FOR AN AIRSHOW!!!

Hookem

SimonSays reply :

Quote
"Gotcha B*#@^ !"

I think I got it from one of Dave Chapelle's stand ups...

sodaksker reply :

usually "there's one", sometimes "talk to daddy"

Murray reply :

usually, "there he is"

or, "here we go."

both of which are immidiatly followed by, "#$%#$#$*@#!"

Tokyo Tony reply :

I like what Steve Kennedy does - he strains and grunts, then starts laughing uncontrollably while saying the word 'awesome' repeatedly ;D He obviously loves his job.

And usually with the first fish of the day, I'll say something like, "Alright come here you little *******!"

Long Mike reply :

On every hook-up I always say"Omygollyjumpinjehosephatsumbitch.!"

senile1 reply :

I believe the phrase for me is "There we go."

ba7ss3in reply :

Usually a quick " Oh S..." but here lately its been Shaw Grigsby's saying from the comercial, "Catching big ole pigs"

Patrick5874 reply :

There ya are Big Boy ! makes the small ones feel good too !

fishEguy reply :

Before the hookset, "There's one" (see avatar)

After the hookset, "Big 'Un!"......... 8-)...........

SuthernProg reply :

Kind of embarassing and I DONT use it ALL the time, but mine is usually "Hell Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about!" My wife rolls her eyes. :

ead-FISHING reply :

Most of the time, if I'm with my buddy, as soon as I feel a bite I'll drop the rod down, take out the slack, tell him watch this, rip back, and go BOOM! ;D

Reminds me of when I used to hunt rabbits with my Dad. He would jump a rabbit and immediately call, "Hup,hup!" to let the beagles know he had jumped one. Then he would shoot if he still had a shot.

I didn't understand why he did that when I was little, but I came to understand that the dogs running the rabbit was at least as much fun as harvesting the game.

GitRDoneIke23 reply :

Yee Haw!

Ike 8-)

Numpty reply :

My wife says...."UH OH"

then....STEEEEVE! can you get it off.

I generally just say "Got one" or "there it is" if I knew one was in there

Sam Kafelafish reply :

"Got one"

"There's one"

"Fish On!"

Lavrax reply :

"[ch927][ch928][ch913]"

bass wrangler569 reply :

usually followed by...

"She's a big... oh she's feaking huge... man she's really fighting... oh... a stick."

My brother does that, it is kinda funny when he does the rip back and he has to follow it with "DANG".

I usually say Fish On!! or Yeeaaah.

One friend I fished with simply said "I'll take that !"

jrhennecke reply :

It's either "There's one" or "Get the net"

Castamasta reply :

'Don't jump, don't jump... awww @#$%!"

lol my thoughts exactly

Wildbillb reply :

I usually say "Are you sure you dont want to try one of these?"

abelfisher reply :

"Got One!"...most of the time

Sometimes, "^&%$, that moth&*^%$#@ got off!"

Other times, "I'm snagged"

GStrider reply :

Usually it's "There's another one."

snyper77 reply :

Powerworm reply :

Uuugggghhhh ;D

guitarkid reply :

I usually hold my mouth shut when I set the hook, but when I don't I usually say ahhh yeeeaaa. Now if I miss a fish, I am likely to say the first thing on my mind (see the last option on the list).

-searoach

guitarkid reply :

Sorry before last.

-searoach

BadKarma42 reply :

If its a tournament, its usually "Fish." followed by "Get the net!"

I have to say get the net because its so rare that I catch a fish in a tournament and Speedbead needs reminded since I always net his fish.

Nicky Greece reply :

" Here we go... "

Ky_Lake_Dude reply :

just about about always I say got em

Brian_Reeves reply :

Wow, I'm not original at all. "There he is."

But I also have been know to say "Oh my god they do exist" on tough days ;D

SimonDM17 reply :

"fishfishfishfishfish!!!!!!!!"

alternatively, if i've been using the "here, fishie fishie fishie" attractor, and a bass bites, it gets the "gotcha"

JerseyBassin reply :

Here we go!!

fishinfiend reply :

come here you lil' wretched

got 'em

wgilfus81 reply :

I start my semi silent "dont lose him, dont lose him" prayer......

bigbill reply :

I was fishing near a guy who always hollers out "I got another one" no matter what kind of fish he catches. I got on the bass bite with him nearby one night and drove him nuts I said i got another one many times. He just was quiet the whole time.

Most of the time i'm quiet but if i'm using my heavy topwater setup i just say to myself, "fish you bit the wrong lure" and land it and release it of course.

BassinBoy reply :

Quote
"There's one"

X2 Bro!

slice reply :

It's usually "Hook up!" with the word "hook" pronounced so that it rhymes with "spook"

My favorite guide in Baja says it every time a fish is hooked and it cracks me up.

HorseEmIn reply :

Come to PopPop. (My grandkids call me "PopPop)!

Hawghead reply :

Pretty boring,

"There's one"

"There's he is"

"THere we go"

Rattlinrogue reply :

i ALWAYS SAY come to daddy,so I voted come to papa.
