I like what Steve Kennedy does - he strains and grunts, then starts laughing uncontrollably while saying the word 'awesome' repeatedly  ;D He obviously loves his job.

And usually with the first fish of the day, I'll say something like, "Alright come here you little *******!"  

On every hook-up I always say"Omygollyjumpinjehosephatsumbitch.!"  

I believe the phrase for me is "There we go."

Usually a quick " Oh S..." but here lately its been Shaw Grigsby's saying from the comercial, "Catching big ole pigs"

There ya are Big Boy ! makes the small ones feel good too !

Before the hookset, "There's one" (see avatar)

After the hookset, "Big 'Un!"......... 8-)...........

Kind of embarassing and I DONT use it ALL the time, but mine is usually "Hell Yeah! That's what I'm talkin' about!" My wife rolls her eyes. :

Most of the time, if I'm with my buddy, as soon as I feel a bite I'll drop the rod down, take out the slack, tell him watch this, rip back, and go BOOM!   ;D

If I'm fishing out of the back of my friend Craig's boat, I try to land the fish without a sound...easier to do with smaller fish.

Then I shout "CRAIG!" and when he spins around I'm already holding the fish.

I call it Ninja Fishing.

that is a great name for it. i do that somethimes unless we are fishing in a tourny.

Got one.

my wife always says "I got one!"  ... Then she sets the hook.  I've tried to convince her to set the hook, then say "I got one"... She's learning.

OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHH Yea!!!!!!!!!

FISH ON!!!!!!!!! Occasionally followed by anyone of the next words. sh--,rock,fish off, HE CAME BACK FOR IT, don't jump don't jump, it's a pig, it's a dink, here he comes, get the net. And a few others.

If it's a small fish - DINK

If it's a bigger fish - HOOOOP !

If it's the real deal - Ohhh BABY !!!!!!!!!!!!

Great thread.

I like "Fish on" or "There we go"

I like to quoute the great American Ebby Calvin "Nuke" LaLouche.

"Holy $#$%, that was beautiful.  What'd I do?"

my wife always says "I got one!" ... Then she sets the hook. I've tried to convince her to set the hook, then say "I got one"... She's learning.

Reminds me of when I used to hunt rabbits with my Dad.  He would jump a rabbit and immediately call, "Hup,hup!" to let the beagles know he had jumped one.  Then he would shoot if he still had a shot.  

I didn't understand why he did that when I was little, but I came to understand that the dogs running the rabbit was at least as much fun as harvesting the game.

Yee Haw!

My wife says...."UH OH"

then....STEEEEVE! can you get it off.

I generally just say "Got one" or "there it is" if I knew one was in there

"Got one"

"There's one"

"Fish On!"

"[ch927][ch928][ch913]"

"Theres one"

usually followed by...

"She's a big... oh she's feaking huge... man she's really fighting... oh... a stick."

and sometimes...

'Don't jump, don't jump... awww @#$%!"

Most of the time, if I'm with my buddy, as soon as I feel a bite I'll drop the rod down, take out the slack, tell him watch this, rip back, and go BOOM! ;D

My brother does that, it is kinda funny when he does the rip back and he has to follow it with "DANG".

I usually say Fish On!! or Yeeaaah.

One friend I fished with simply said "I'll take that !"

It's either "There's one" or "Get the net"

'Don't jump, don't jump... awww @#$%!"
