"She nibbled my cricket!"

That's sexist...

I usually say something along the lines of, "Hey, it IS a fish".  If I say anything at all.  I'm usually too afraid I'll jinx it.

No way ~ I'm an equal opportunity angler.

It's not like I'm only throwing a pink Rat-L-Trap.

A-Jay

world record!

Slammered 

Had a good hit.

When fishing with people it's usually a quick "Fish!," "Got one!" or "There we go!" 

By myself it's usually just a smile when hooked and a quick "woot!" when they are landed. 

Favorite ones are:

"Crushed" for those hard strikes. As in: "I thought it was a 10# the way that little guy crushed my jig" 

"Choked" or "swallowed" for the fish that are hooked deep. As in: "Man, it really choked on that swim bit" 

"Buggered" for when they hook themselves funny. As in: "Awe man, he buggered himself on those trebles" or "he buggered himself coming through the slop" 

"Doubled!" for when me or my friend hooks up when the other is already got one. As in: "Wooo! Doubled! he crushed it in the same spot as yours!"

"Suck it, Gerry" for when my friend Gerry says I'm crazy for fishing a spot or a specific lure. As in: him "You'll never get a fish in that current" <hook up> Me "Suck it, Gerry"  

"There it is"

"Here we go"

And for some reason to many times this year it's been

"d**n it"

My tournament partners favorite is

"That had to be a bream"

Smashed

Slammed

Nailed

Choked

Hammered

I instinctively ALWAYS say "There we go." when setting the hook on a fish. I don't even know I'm saying it half the time. I'm also guilty of saying "good one" a lot and then reeling in a 1lb fish. 

Choked it

Killed it

Inhaled it

Crushed it

Just bit it and took off

Some unusual terms I have sometimes used:  

                                           She Slammed it!

                                           She's just messen with it!

                                            Pounded the bait!

                                             It was a pig fest!

                                            Its a dink fest!

                                            A wolf pack bite!

                                             

                                            

She Ate It!!! 

 

Whooped it!

Anialated it!
