Brew City Bass Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 I never noticed this until I started fishing with a partner, and then noticed the pro's doing it. Do you have a hookset catchphrase? Some people say 'Gotchya!' some pro's always say 'Biggun!'. Every time I do a hookset and get a fish on, I always find myself saying 'Here we go!' without any control, I always say it without fail haha. What do you say? Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 11, 2016 Global Moderator Posted May 11, 2016 I think I tend to be pretty quiet on the hook set. Once a fish is on the line I'm all business. 5 Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted May 11, 2016 Super User Posted May 11, 2016 I'll usually say "fish on" or "there it is". 3 Quote
Airman4754 Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 There it is for a normal feeling fish and Here we go if it feels big right away. I guy I've been fishing with a guy forever that always says Maybe and looks up at his rod to make sure it's not a snag. Then when the fish is about to the boat he will finally admit he has one on.

When I use to be big into ice fishing, sitting in out shanty waiting for a tip up, as soon as we saw the flag, all four of my buddies and I would come busting out fighting each other to get to the tip up first, all while screaming "FISH ON!" of course slipping and falling on our ***** all the way there. 13 minutes ago, Mosster47 said: There it is for a normal feeling fish and Here we go if it feels big right away.

Or if you're my brother, just set the hook on every snag, weed, bump. I swear, he sets the hook if a fly lands on his rod tip. 1 Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted May 11, 2016 Super User Posted May 11, 2016 If I'm fishing with someone else, I say "got one." Myself, it's usually "there's one." 2 Quote
"hamma" Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 I usually say "here we go" as well, then after I feel the weight I'll say either , "big one" or "di**" Quote
Torn Thumb Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 Either my best James Hetfield impression with "Yeaahh", or "Ha, not weeds." One is loud and the other is very quiet. You decide. 1 Quote

Super User J Francho Posted May 11, 2016 Super User Posted May 11, 2016 I'm not sure what I say? I know I say something, especially in a tournament situation, so my partner knows there's a fish on. Quote
Super User scaleface Posted May 11, 2016 Super User Posted May 11, 2016 Dang , he spit it out . 2 Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted May 11, 2016 Super User Posted May 11, 2016 i think it's usually "there it is" i think i might start going full Iaconelli and just say "GIANT" no matter how big or small.... Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted May 11, 2016 Super User Posted May 11, 2016 Most of the time I just say "fish" and if it feels big I always include "Hope it's a bass". One of my favorite Mexican Guides says . . . "Uh-Oh, No Good. Get the net." A-Jay 2 Quote
Surfcaster Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 "There he is." And if I think it's a good fish, I usually follow it up with a Roland Martin, "SON." 5 Quote
Super User Gundog Posted May 11, 2016 Super User Posted May 11, 2016 I usually scream "FINALLY!!!!" Truthfully I just say "there's one". One time I was fishing with "That friend" (check out that thread) and after catching my 10th bass and he hadn't caught one I hooked into another and before I could say it my friend said it for me. lol Quote
IndianaFinesse Posted May 11, 2016 Posted May 11, 2016 I don't unless I am in a tournament, and even then it is just so my partner casts there incase of a school of fish. Quote
Super User Darren. Posted May 11, 2016 Super User Posted May 11, 2016 "Here we go" "There he is" "Got 'im" "That's a snag" "Darn branch" Or nothing at all... 3 Quote
