Some of my buddies have pretty good catch phrases when they set the hook. Some are funny some are just straight up annoying. I don't think they actually realize there saying it. I personally don't say a thing when I hook up. I thought it would be fun to hear some of your catch phrases and if you do or don't have one. ;D

Several years ago I was fishing with a guy and throughout the day, he would occasionally grunt, groan or gasp - each time I would ask him if he had one on and he didn't - finally I asked him what do you say when you get a bite - he said "here, hold my beer".

"There he is"

Thats funny right there... Thanks for the laugh

"There goes one."

I usually say, "Fish."

I usually say "got one" pretty much aloud just after I set the hook, even when I am by myself. I think I picked it up from one of the pros.

The funny thing is that English is not my native language.

GGGG-Unit!  Just kidding; no catch phrase when I stick one. 

I have found myself recently saying "fish on" and not knowing it.

I believe I picked it up from Jeremy Wade of "Monster Fish" on TV.

These are great guys...Keep them coming! Just talked to my buddy he said I say (hooked up) sometimes or

(thats a good one) but he did say it's rare i say anything. He says (there we go)

What's especially interesting to me about this is I am not consciously aware that I actually say anything - but it bugs me to death when another guy in the boat hooks one and actually doesn't say anything.

i say 'boo-yah!!!' and throw a couple fist pumps in there when theyre taking line.

nah , not really. i dont usually say anything since i fish by myself 95% of the time. but i have caught myself saying 'fish!' or 'she took it!' or something along those lines before.

im an "ike-aholic".... so i yell "BIG ONE!!!!, ITS HUGE!!!!!" even if its a dink haha

I usually say "Oh yeah" or "Yeah buddy"

I dont catch too many fish but when i do i get pretty excited... ill yell all kinds of stuff...then you look stupid when you pull out a tiny fish

I don't believe I say anything when I catch one...but I have been known to blurt out expletives when I lose one.  ;D

"theres one", "fish on", "fish" for hooked fish and $%!#* when one is lost

"fish on"

I use "fish on" when I think I need to announce that I'm now occupied with fighting/landing the fish; for instance, if I have nearby boat traffic and I might be drifting/not steering as I work the fish.

Otherwise, I often talk to the fish during the fight - like: "don't come unbuttoned on me," "what were you doing in that shallow water...don't you know the books say you're supposed to be deep right now," "nice fish, come to papa," etc, etc. ;D

i usually say "there he is" or when reeling in a stick ect.. something to the effect of "he's not a real big swimmer" or "he's not a big fan of swimming" or "he's a non swimmer"

Once in a while, my buddy says, in his best Southern accent, "You gotta rip 'em back thru the sticks!"  He says he's mocking a line from a corny fishing show he saw a while back.

I don't say much of anything when I hook up.

I say fish,  fish on, or some variation!

"There's one," is what pops out most of the time, even when I'm fishing alone. Like Goose I also find myself talking to the fish from time to time. Should I be concerned about these habits? :-/ To this point the fish have not talked back...

I say "Got you you ba****d

"Get On!"  I have no idea why i say it, its just what usually comes out on the hookset.  Also, like Goose and some others, I talk to the fish as Im playin it in.
