I start with a "he we go" when the line goes down.

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.

me too! When I look over and someone is unhooking a fish, it's kinda like I don't understand... Didn't even know you had one on.

I usually say "I got it" then i'll talk to the fish as i'm reeling in, saying things like "come on girl, you can make it"

Mine is :

ohh....ohhh.. OHHH.!!!!

I say "good to go" making fun of one of my buddies.

when my buddy gets a good one, he says "holy sxxt... get the net ready!"  but we have never, not once carried a net on the boat lol. 

"GET THE NET", if my fishing buddy is not as fast as I think he should be it's "GET THE F*%&ING NET"

"About Frickin Time" hah

'Hey net boy, get ready"

Nice. I call my son Netboy. It really gets under his skin.

The "catch" phrase starts "Fish On"... "Is it a keeper?" During a tourney it follows with" ...G Dammit it's a musky (or pike, walleye, etc.)"

I would never complain about a musky....even in a tourny

I normally say "here we go" then set the hook

fish on

or

oooooooph (grunting)

love it

Non tourney, i say "get me a beer"...I am not allowed to start drinking until i get a fish.  (note: sometimes I must start drinking in order to catch a fish, so it is up to my own discretion) 

Family time or tourney...I say nothing unless it is a pig...then I yell randomly.

Got One!!! 

If it's a big one I would say "OH MAMA!! It's a big one, get the net!"

Usually "there it is" and lately it's followed up with "stay down"! I can't tell you how many have come unbuttoned lately after a jump or the fish races for the weeds you can't see. If they do come unbuttoned it's "WT.." You can fill in that blank.  ;D

i say "what a sweet little butter ball".then send him cartwheeling over my shoulder

i usually say dance monkeys!!!!! or dance!!!! or something like that ;D

Since this post Ive been trying to use a catch phrase but all that seems to come out is... uuuhhhhh or oohhhhpppp

I usually say, it's about da** time, finally or ooops it's just grass

When I feel those first few ticks while fishing soft plastics...I yell....Use them tiger teeth, bite it like a lil monkey

I usually say "there he is", or "got one". If it's big I say " get the net, it's Bubba" or "he's a chunckster". I also talk a lot as I'm releasing them. I say stuff like "nice to meet ya" and " thanks buddy".

"There's one"

Various grunts.

"Slama-Jama ding-dong!" and "BOOM-shaka-laka!" have been used on special occasions, usually when under the influence. ;D

"50% OF THE TIME IT WORKS EVERY TIME"

"weeds...fish...dink...OMG its a hawg. It all depends. upon release I usually say "see ya" like Mr. Dance.
