I'm not a mod, so no. I just didn't see the need for two topics of precisely the same nature when you could have posted this in the other thread. If the mods don't care, who am I to say anything?

The other thread was mainly just the jimmy houston video cause i found it funny, thought everyone else would too.
Jigfishn10 reply :
Usually on a slow day I'll finally hook into a couple, the first one would be...let's say...undersized and the second would be "this one's got some meat to it!". Always turns out to be around 2 lbs or less...LOL...always the glass half full fisherman, ya know?

Frog Turds reply :
"i love it when a plan comes together" ~ typically when i just know a fish is there & sure'nuff i make the cast and get'em or when i see a bass hammer something & throw my bait in that exact spot right after and WHAM!!

NEjitterbugger reply :
I like when I try to cast somewhere and it is waaaaaaaay off, and then you get a fish on a retrival that is 5 times as fast as what you would usually do.
ClackerBuzz reply :
every time i'm leaving shore.... someone coming in says "They are bustin' on shad out there". best part is half the places don't have shad

hooah212002 reply :
Said to the wife:
"I won't be gone long"
"I'll be back in a little bit "
" it was on sale"
"yes I needed it, my other reel wasn't working right"
"no, I do not have enough fishing lures. Fish are very picky"
And of course you can never go wrong with "I'm sorry". This phrase is best said first thing in the morning. When she asks why you are sorry, you can say "for whatever I do to make you mad later today".

Two snags in two casts always get an "OH C'MON!!!!" from me.

"Last time I saw something like that, it was in a Playboy from 1984!" When I/a buddy backlash real bad.
shimmy reply :
always on the day you didn't catch many or caught very small ones,
me: how'd you do today?
idiot liar: caught a couple today, caught one about 3, 4, 5 pounds (fish always starts with a low weight and miraculously jumps up a pound and sometimes 2 in this instance)
me: how do you usually do?
moron reply number 2: aw usually can get a few over 4-5 pounds, caught one over 8 pounds last year. (the number will always be 8 pounds)
me: oh wow, congratulations, blah blah blah, i would love to see a picture?
dumbo: (i'm sure you already know the answer) oh forgot the camera that day.
I run into this conversation almost daily on a bad day on the water. These people should be charged in a court of law.

When fishing a Hudd or Spro and I pull it out of the water when kids are around-
"FISH! FISH! He caught a fish!"

Fisherman to another-
"Dude, what are you throwing?"
"Have you tried the new [insert lure here], they are sick!"

Run&Gun reply :
"he swam with it"
Texfisherman reply :
Every time I successfully set the hook, it is immediately followed by a loud announcement of "Got her!!!"
When the fish aren't biting I'll say "Come on bass, you know you want our free lip piercing service!"
If I lose a monster while fighting it, I'll scream out in a lost, ancient language that only Iaconelli would comprehend, but it kind of sounds like "NOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Thats one of my favorites. Guys automatically know exactly how big a fish is as soon as they hook into it.
"Aw man I had an 8 pounder on the other day but lost it."
An 8 pounder huh. How do you know if you never saw the fish?
Ive learned little fish can feel huge and big fish can feel tiny so its impossible to know until you land the fish.

i can't believe you guys don't understand their logic. "Only a 10lb fish could break my 8lb line". Bucket fisherman teach amazing lessons if you're only willing to understand grasshopper

I've got a lot of "you fish for bass with that thing" when I use my ul rod I keep in my car on #4 line.This was usually followed by some choice words mixed in with "he got another one"shortly after.I actually caught so many bass on the rod(pb of 6lb12.5oz included) I was getting nervous that the next hookset or fish might be the things last.I've since managed to stuff a St Croix in my car for after work sessions,but when the bite is cold/fishing pressure is on I still go for my ul and usually keep from smelling the ole skunk

Thats why I always bring my UL with me. I am not happy unless my hands smell like fish. So if the bass arent biting i can always catch some slab gill and crappie.

Wait a minute.......you only bring ONE rod/reel everywhere you go??? I have all 3 of mine in my front seat and ALL my gear in my trunk.....and I have a Chevy Aveo. My old lady is NONE too happy about it when she has to sit next to fishing gear. You never know when you'll happen upon a honey hole and I would not want to miss it. I have come home with muddy work loafers and wet slacks too many times to count (the old lady doesn't like that either lol). "And just WHAT were YOU doing Mr.?????"

I'm sorry, I meant that in jest. However, a second re-read makes me realize that it doesn't quite come off as "quippy" as I had intended, so I can see how it may have been construed as somewhat condescending or with ill intent (or even worse: serious). I meant it in no such manner.

TrippyJai reply :
These are the few things I notice I say all the time.
"Got one!"
"He hit it on the fall"
"Would you eat this, if you were a bass?"
pbrussell reply :
Missed fish-
"That one was a giant"
Landed big fish-
"YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!"
Multiple snags in a short period of time-
"You've got to be kidding me"
If they ain't biting-
"What in the world am I doing wrong here?"
But the most common response is almost always (as another poster noted)
"CRAP"
or it could be any variety of disgruntled noises
"UGHHH" "AGHHHH"

Consider this line stolen.
I will say that I find the "televisionification" of bass fishing to be funny. I have walked up on guys completely alone on a pond narrating their fishing exploits.

Every hookset gets a " There she is"
"Ahh, Hung again"
"I thought for sure there'd be one in there"
"Just like I expected"
I frequently sing songs to the bass like," Here fishy fishy", or " Jig, Jig Jig, all day long...."

I do that all the time. Oddly enough, a great number of my fish have been caught on my "last cast".
better yet, it's" I'm not tying on any more lures if this one doesn't get a bite" followed by tying on 3 more baits. Or a personal one of mine when fishing heavy cover or heavy snags "I'm done as soon as I lose this lure" agsin followed by tying on, amd losing, 3 more lures.

When the fishing's slow I often have a running monolog with the fish: "How about this bait? No? Perhaps a different retrieve? Perhaps color #194 rather than #297? Hmmm?"

Ha, I don’t sing to my lures, but when I’m fishing with my oldest boy 15yrs it’s always a competition, so after I catch a fish and if he hasn’t yet, then I start singing about how awesome I am, or what great fishermen I am, I’ll sing oh where, oh where is Brandon’s fish. He just smiles but I can tell sometimes he wants to throw me over board…..LOL
Olebiker reply :
After practicing all day for a tournament without catching anything I am prone to say, "Well, I eliminated a lot of water today."

I have either heard these or spoken them over the years

"A swing and a miss"
"Ouch"
"You've cast across my line"
"didn't see that tree branch sticking out over the water"
"Watch out for stumps in the water so we don't hit one with the boat"
"I told you to watch out for stumps in the water"
SAC2 reply :
not sure if this one has been said but i say it to my buddy after he misses a bunch of bites "hey are you sure you put hooks on that thing?' another one i say often when fishing with people that dont put much time in on the water is that "its not the size of the bait, its the angle of the dangle"

Lets see...general terms...
hawg, toad, monster, bing one, slaunch, lunker, hog, basically everything but the word bass, and my personal favorite, "kraken"
Mainebass1984 reply :
"Get the net this thing is a monster"---- turns out to be a 2 lber
"Man that could have been a record"----a nice fish breaks the line.
"Cant catch them if your lure isn't in the water"
When I run into other fisherman on the water the conversation is always very similar.
" Hows the fishing ?"
"slow"
"Are you getting any"
"a few nothing huge." (huge to me is over 7 or 8 lbs)
"what are you using ?"
"A lure"
"Oh yeah. Just got it at walmart. Its called a spinner." ---- As I toss out a jig or crankbait....
On occasion I do give out helpful info to people fishing with kids, haven't caught anything all day or if they seem to be polite. Generally though most people are fishing for information.
Stork reply :
When I get bit I like to say, "Think I got snagged on a fish face." and "Cue the banjo!"

I've caught more fish on this than anything else.

Me and my buddy are always trying to one up each other, so when we hook up its like, " Ooooh man I think its two ton Tessy! Aww yea she is big, no man dont run over here its just another dink".

I would most likely get banned if I were to quote my boat phrases...however I do have one G rated one
" you can't tell me there isn't a fish in there...ya can't!" And even with that one I usually weave some of my favorite four letter words into lol
GaterB reply :
Ya GOTTA be kidding me...
Very versatile, good for backlash, spooking fish, missing hooksets, casts that land in a tree, etc...
ColdSVT reply :
My other famous one.
If a fish is lost without being seen it is always a dunk...even if she takes 50yrs of drag in .5 seconds and has your rod on the cusp of fracture!. If I didn't see it she was a dink!

"THERE she is!.......There she isn't"
"Should've been here yesterday" was a saltwater cliche from the 70s.
When I miss 2 or more bass, I'll tell my wife, "They're really not feeding today"

Whenever I catch a dink it's either "That there's a wall hanger!" or "That there's one of dem Florida strain bass!"
Big Jon reply :
Haha, this was so funny. I just wasted so much time reading through this instead of working.
I don't say anything as i'm usually fishing alone, but I couldn't post what I say in my head most of the time.
When I'm fishing with someone:
"Isn't it weird how you can catch them all day long when you're by yourself."
Of course, the're always "Dad Gummit!"

gr8outdoorz reply :
On days I'm not catching I always look up at the sky and say:
"Why you not letting them out to play today??? They must have been really bad last night!"

bmac31 reply :
He's huge, he just crushed my (insert lure type). -
Turns out to be a 1.5lb
He was only a baby bass - any fish I lose no matter how big he might've been
wakeeater reply :
when my fishing partner is clearing a backlash, i like to ask "are you counting line again?" sometimes i throw out a Mortal Combat "GET OVER HERE!" when i've got a good one hooked up. or "get in the boat, you big slonch donkey!" (i stole that off zona).
Todd2 reply :
"I talked to a couple of guys at the ramp, they weren't catching anything either"
majorbanjo reply :
That's why they call it fishing and not catching...
CorbinCoach reply :
Anytime I'm fishing a new bait without any luck.
"Man that bait looks so good I'm about to jump in there and bite it myself"
Brandon Knight reply :
Sometimes just to mess with others fishing around me ill jerk my line REALLY hard and yell "Walleye!!!!!" and reel up fast as possible, Then just re cast like nothing happened. Dumb I know, but the looks are priceless.
Another one a friend and i started a long time ago was just simply "Natural Presentation" when we would mess up and cast all the way on the bank, or when we would cast over a tree limb on accident.

Welcome to the forums! This one's a classic for me haha
Caylub reply :
Another thing I say to mess with my buddies is: nothing at all. I reel my fish in , unhook it, look it over, and put it back in the water. They get so riled up because I dont get pumped up on every fish. I really do get pumped, but I know hiding it will elicit a reaction from them, which is hilarious.

"yes I needed it, my other reel wasn't working right"
"no, I do not have enough fishing lures. Fish are very picky"
And of course you can never go wrong with "I'm sorry". This phrase is best said first thing in the morning. When she asks why you are sorry, you can say "for whatever I do to make you mad later today".
Better to do it aned say sorry later, than to ask for permission. haha
I see you are well versed in the number one rule of male-female interactions...Never give a specific time as to when you'll be back...be vague.

That's sounds backwards...the ones I lose are always the biggest....as far as my story is concerned haha. Just look above my pic.

I tell the smaller fish to go back and tell their grandmom how mean I was to them.
MichiganFishing1997 reply :
When we fish for pike and musky, we call them "toothy's." I dont know if its just a northern thing but thats what we call 'em.
Texas bassman reply :
the deal with this bait is...
coryn h. fishowl reply :
"He's small, but he fought hard...really fiesty"-hoists a 10 incher
Saying the same thing three times: "Man he just slammed it, he crushed that spinnerbait, I mean absolutely devoured it." or "That is a really nice fish, a healthy one, and fat too....thats just a really nice fish."

Texfisherman reply :
Here's a conversation we've had a few times now:
I hook into a bass (so I think) and the fight begins...
Me: "Oh my gosh, this bass is huge!!"
Buddy: "It's not coming up..."
Me: "Don't say that! Don't jinx me!"
Buddy: "It's not coming up..."
Me: "I'm telling you, this is a bass! This is the best fight I've ever had!!"
Buddy: "It's not coming up..."
Me: "Nooooo!! It's a catfish!"
Buddy: "Yep... it's a catfish."
