Your "Fish On" Expressions

[Vollmer]

What are some of the expressions you use while fishing? We all have 'em. One that tends to come up for us every time I'm fishing with certain buddies is "tight lines" ... whether we are getting skunked, or hammering 'em, the go-to expression for 'be ready' is "tight lines! tight lines!".

For my fish-on expession ... one of my best friends and I always yell "BAM!"

 

[Frosty....]

Reminded me of this great song!

 

[Kickemup]

Ours is get the bobber.

 

[Brian Renville]

"Hooked up!"

 

[KDM]

There's One!!!

 

[Fisherman25]

"Fish on motha f*€!" Came from a local drunk that use to say that all the time.

 

[guywhofishes]

I usually just grin and chuckle - on occasion a low key "here we go" or "yep"

This is because enslow taught me that hollering "OH YEAH!... OH MY GOD!!... YES! NICE FISH ON!!!" is in bad form. And attracts pirates.

 

[Kurtr]

"we are angling now" or
"get the pistol" as in this sum bitch is so big it needs to be shot before it can come on the boat which generally is not the case as we dont have very many halibut here but is still fun to say

 

[lunkerslayer]

"Get the net"

 

[MuskyManiac]

"Bobber Down!", even when trolling in the summer.

 

[DirtyMike]

I usually just say "fish." When I've been out-catching my father in law 10-1, I don't make a peep.

 

[JayKay]

Oh, that's a better one...

No matter what, that's what I always say...

 

[NDwalleyes]

When I hook into one I'll yell out, "The green hornet strikes again Gustafson"!

 

[Vollmer]

When I hook into one I'll yell out, "The green hornet strikes again Gustafson"!

One of the best flicks of all time.

 

[Colonel Angus]

looks like I got another player....here, hold my beer for a sec.

 

[701FishSlayer]

There he is..........

 

[MathewsZman]

I usually just grin and chuckle - on occasion a low key "here we go" or "yep"

This is because enslow taught me that hollering "OH YEAH!... OH MY GOD!!... YES! NICE FISH ON!!!" is in bad form. And attracts pirates.

So he must have been in the boat the day he coined that EHH

 

[Vollmer]

Have one that I always use if a buddy has one on the line, then loses it.

"Gretzky is deniiiiiied"

 

[fullrut]

Usually try to play it low key. No swinging the net around or yelling for the same reason mentioned by guywhofishes. Even better if you can slip a nice one in the boat without your fishing partner even noticing.

 

[JayKay]

Oh, that's a better one...

No matter what, that's what I always say...

Last night, when I caught the FIRST ONE, I said "oh, that's a better one". LOL. Just comes out of my mouth I guess.
