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.

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

how am i not catching fish here?

Oh son!

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.

how am i not catching fish here?

haha, i said that yesterday to... but it is true, how many times have you pulled up to a nice row of downed timber, only to loose 2 jigs or one wrap you up and you miss it. OR nothing period

bucket fisherman--"10lb test is plenty"

"Start the suicide watch." After losing a big one by my own screw up

"It's a Sea Beast!!!!!" (ripped off Zona) when netting a rat/dink

"oof, ugh!" (Plink! line goes slack) "@#%&@#&! Pike/Bowfin!"

"Here you go" When handing net with a Pike/Bowfin in it after it does it's roll and snarls up the whole thing, to the guy that caught it.

"Last time I saw something like that, it was in a Playboy from 1984!" When I/a buddy backlash real bad.

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.

"This is text book"

When I come across an amazing piece of structure or cover

"Honey, I'm just going to go check out this new bait.....won't be gone very long."

Three hours later......"Baby, this thing is awesome. They wouldn't leave it alone"

When fishing a Hudd or Spro and I pull it out of the water when kids are around-

"FISH! FISH! He caught a fish!"

I say, "Its not a fish, its a lure... Don't touch it, it has a sharp hook(s)..."

Fisherman to another-

"Dude, what are you throwing?"

"Have you tried the new [insert lure here], they are sick!"

"Check out the Wal-mart special that guy is using..."(referring to the 8ft+ XXXH White Saltwater Spinning combo)

here fishy fishy,here fishy fishy

"There he is! Nope, I'm snagged".

I'll 2nd that.

When I loose the last of a color of jig: Welp Northstar can pay rent this week.

When I get a backlash around someone: who screwed with my *****? I say the same thing when I miss while qualifying at work

"he swam with it"

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!"

What are you using?

How Deep are ya?

Any action?

Should have been here yesterday.

"Welp, over this joint. Place is tapped." Always a sound excuse

"Ain't no fish in the d**n lake."

or...

"Too many boats on the d**n lake."

Keep your tip up!

Get the net

My favorite so far.

(null)

Keep the cover on the cooler! My old man used to get onto me about keeping his Miller Light cold as I retrieved an ice cold Dr. Pepper.

"Pop the trim up". As we moved close to structure.

"Give him the redeye"!

I wont get into the choice words he used regularly as I spooled a nest big enough for an eagle while learning to throw a baitcaster..
