When I have a really good day, I'll either say, "The lake was on FIRE!" (say it with a heavy southern drawl, "Tha lake was on FAHR!")

or I say, "It was STUPID fishing!"

Hey why do you have to put me into this, geezzz!!!!!

"Stinkin' pretty" for a real good day. "The skunks outta the boat" for a day with a few, and "skunked" for the day with zero.

Flat out stroked 'um!

we got after it...

slayed em....

took it to em....

my favorite. we hammered em

Depends whos asking and how well we are doing. If its another angler and we are killing them, usually say " we caught 1 or 2" In a tournament and talking to another boat and we only got 2 fish. "We got probably 18 lbs."

Yeah situation dictates. I been known to be humble and say," it's a little slow". But normally I use the same as Chris and Bizz and say I whacked em!

Not trying to argue with you flechero because I'm usually a fan of yours, but it's considered socially acceptable to say "I murded the bass" so how is raped any different. Both are heinous crimes, and "raped" can have multiple less-offensive meanings, such as pillaged, whereas "murded" has one clear meaning. Most likely when people first started saying "I murded this" or "I murded that," it was considered offensive, but then it gradually became accepted as appropriate slang. I think "raped" might be the same way, and gradually it will either die out or be accepted as an acceptable slang word. I'm nor saying this is right and I'm not advocating saying "raped" but I don't see how there's any difference between saying "I murded the bass" and "I raped the bass"

If we all agreed on everything this would be a boring site.

IMO, there is a big difference between socially acceptable and right. I don't like watching network tv and hearing cuss words either. Having had a close friend that was raped and knowing another that was murdered makes me a little more uptight about it than most, probably...

Although, I think the phrases murdered 'em, killed 'em, etc. started back when few were into catch and release so at least there was some truth to it at one time.

"Hammer'd 'em." or "Put the hammer to 'em."

Now I'm more apt to say, "I'm on 'em."

"Hooked up with some fatties."

Remember, I'm looking for 1 fish so ....

"Found her" is what I used last night and hopefully again tonight

it's either:

"tore 'em up"

or

"wore 'em out"

Sorry.  I know those are both pretty generic and boring, but it works for me.

I heard a new form of denial yesterday while fishing. I met a fella who keeps his boat right next to mine where we fish, we share some info. We were by the ramp and a guy asked him how they were biting ( the guy had a wonderful day) His answer

If I was a seal I would be starving today ;D

Hey Muddy, I wonder what line this guy uses when he gets skunked  

you guys bashing the dude who said he "raped" the bass are ridiculous. maybe its time to take an english refresher class. if he said he cornholed them then i could see how that could offend.

The issue was dropped, thanks for bringing it up again.

Who are you to tell me what is offensive?  The connotation of that word is offensive to me.  If it is not to you, that is fine.

I work daily with many young women who have suffered and rape and I can tell you all without exception cringe when they here stuff like this. Take your official definition and put in it school where it belongs. In the real every day world this term is rude and unacceptable

If I called you a @*#%#! and after you got all mad & offended, I said oh you mis-understood me, I meant the 4th definition, Merriam... even you might think it was a bit ridiculous. :

Geez...

You guys need some more time on the water and off the puter.

We just proved we can start a food fight even if the strawberry

shortcake is homemade and fresh!

Good night Irene
