What do you say... 2025

Bayou Bass reply :

What do you say when you set the hook? I know this question seems a bit odd but I have noticed that almost every fishing show I watch the host has some type of catch phrase or saying that they rattle off every time they hook up.

I usually say "there he is" or "fish". One time I hollered "yahtzee" when I hooked up. That one was good for a few laughs.

-HAWK- reply :

When you hook into a real nice Hawg, you gotta scream "YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!"

flechero reply :

If it's a real good one, I'll ask "How about an assist?" That usually draws a grumble or two. ;D

5bass reply :

Hooking a good one during a tournament = NET! NET! NET! (often repeated until fish is in net)

Any other time = FISH ON!

Tin reply :

Largemouth on heavy stuff...."Move I'm swinging him"

Smallmouth on finesse stuff...."Grab a snickers, we are not going to be able to do anything for a while."

Certified Public Angler reply :

"Smmmmooooooke On the WATTTTEEERRRR!"

followed by announcing the score to my fishing partner to make sure he remembers... "that's 5-0 I believe" ;D

Crumb reply :

Umph....there's one. Oh, that's a pig!!

SDoolittle reply :

Usually it's "fish on", but when I'm feeling cocky, I'll tell my partner "schools in session".

ring fry reply :

"Umph" or "look out!" Because when I set the hook it either bruises my ribs or a peanut is flying at or over the boat.

BossierBassHunter reply :

"hell yeah"

But what I say normally after I set the hook is "Crap" because I miss them.

Sam reply :

I talk to the fish.

I also say some colorful things.

Can't post them on the forum. ;D

frogtog reply :

Come on man quit playing around and get the dam net.

Flywatersmallie reply :

I fish alone most of the time.... People already think Im nuts much less having me yelling and carrying on to myself or talking to fish. Usually some kind words are quietly spoken toward the fish after it comes to hand though.

OK Bass Hunter reply :

Usually "got 'im", "lookie here" or something salty and unprintable when I miss him.

DADto4 reply :

My reply is "fish on",

My 12yr old boys reply is "check it",

My 7yr olds is"oh man"

My 3yr old daughters is "Daddy,Daddy,Daddy"and it continues until the fish goes back into the water(of course not without a kiss!)

Simp reply :

1. Got one

2. Fish on

and after that if I'm whacking my partner (uaually my friend, nephew or neice) I'll ask them if they want to reel the fish in. My friend ;D at me and usually gives me a F.U. after that, but my neice and nephew usually and takes the rod and real.

Catt reply :

Get the net

Get the net!

Get the net!!

Never mind get a gun

Tokyo Tony reply :

Usually, "Got one."

Somtimes fishing a moving lure, I'll feel a swipe or a tap, which always makes me say, "C'mon baby, hit it again."

When I feel that it's a nice fish, "That's a good one. Really good one. Get the net ready." Then when she darts down at the boat, "Holy crap! Stay hooked, stay hooked...(until she's in the net or my grip)." I love havin' to say that

sambrochill reply :

i think my top three sayings would be:

1. Oh geez!

2. there he is!

3. gotchya!

but i have thrown in a yahtzee or two lol

Captain Rhino reply :

Usually, I say "There we go...".

But if it's a big one, I say "There we go..."

fourbizz reply :

"Cliche'"

FR0G reply :

I am silent. Unless I miss the bite, then I usually say %@#$!!!!

Certified Public Angler reply :

I went fishing Sunday and realized after I set the hook I often end up yelling "Re-cast" or "Look out" as the treble hooks fly over the boat to the other side. ;D

MALTESE FALCON reply :

Normally it's, "I'm on", but if it's a pig I'll say, "Oh Yeah".

Falcon

fishinfiend reply :

I usually say "got one," "fish on," or "OH YEAH."

Brute reply :

This doesn't feel anything like the grass I've been catching.

What do I do?

Brute

KYntucky Warmouth reply :

Lately I've been saying "It's about time". Fishing has been too kind to me this year, I'm always behind in a count if on the board at all.

SLO_ROLL reply :

Al Linder has this one in the bag "It's a Horse" Mine is "10-4" or "Smooth"
