Fish On!?!

[Hurricane]

The F-Bomb screamed bloody murder style is the usual saying when a big fish is lost...

I dont say fish on .Unless theres a fish on my PLATE.

When my brothers and I have the "kayak fleet" out on a lake or river, we just say "Fish!"

As for myself, when I finally get that lure, in that, right place, with-out splashing, (spooking all fish in lake) and start working the lure back to my boat, like I was taught on this site.

I scream out!

You better not steal my $18.99 Livingston, Primetyme, SQ 2.0 Bassmaster Classic (winning sound Technology) lure..... That thing has computer switch in it and I forgot what I set in on (was it EBS, Craw, or Shad) or silent...

The problems, we all face.....

"Other."

Feller came to fish the shore by me while I was flipping into a downed tree.  He was just scouting with an old reel mounted to an Ugly Stick, and very likeable.  Nice guy.

We were talking about how there should be bass in the downed tree, and I was fully enjoying the new freedom provided by the braided line I'd discovered after coming off a long time of mostly not fishing.  I was casting directly over the tree limbs and making the jig crawl over them to splash into the water.

As he got ready to leave, I got a strike.  It surprised me and I only got a half-hearted hook set in, but I yelled "Fish on!" to let him know I'd finally done what we'd been talking about.  After a brief, violent fight, the bass got off, and the feller, who returned to watch me land the bass, got to laugh at me.

That's the only time in the past three years I've said "fish on!"

The only time I ever heard the phrase was on a charter. The result was that everyone on that side of the boat brought their lines in to avoid tangling.

I rarely say anything at all, my hook sets are usually announced by my rod.

[Last_Cast]

I say it all the time.
