Travis Rage Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 What are your favorite terms to describe a bite? Looking for some new ones here are some of mine that fish "demolished" my jig swiped- -destroyed -crushed -smashed Quote

UPSmallie Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Pounded, smacked it, slapped it, slammed it, and my favorite for fishing topwater - Steamrolled it Quote
Super User Jar11591 Posted August 17, 2016 Super User Posted August 17, 2016 "Destroyed it" "crushed it" "swiped at it" ~ for a missed topwater hit Quote
Super User buzzed bait Posted August 17, 2016 Super User Posted August 17, 2016 my dad would say he "swallered it" (swallowed) 4 Quote
Nice_Bass Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 "Took him for a walk" (when fishing a worm or jig and you lift on the rod a few extra times as it swims to make sure it is on prior to setting the hook). its not exactly a term of endearment as you should have set the hook already...but we have all done it! 1 Quote
blckshirt98 Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 For me a bite is a "hit" 90% of the time, if it's an aggressive bite I'll use "crushed it". Quote
contium Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 I only use hit. For some reason, most of the other terms annoy me. I think it because I watch too much fishing on TV/youtube. Quote
Super User WRB Posted August 17, 2016 Super User Posted August 17, 2016 The most famous saying for a strike is "hook up", covers all fishing situations. I'm bit I'm on big fish get the net All the above in that order. Tom 1 Quote
YakPirate Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 inhaled it! --- when fishing alone Nom Nom time! --- when fishing with the kids Quote
Fishinthefish Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 Hit, fish on, slammed it if the bite is aggressive. Quote
OCdockskipper Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 "Hammered it" or "Hit it like a freight train" for moving baits or when a big channel catfish grabs your lure. A much more subtle "There he is" for bottom bouncing baits. Quote
GORDO Posted August 17, 2016 Posted August 17, 2016 I think this will be the new one to catch on among us: Avocadoed it! 2 Quote
Super User A-Jay Posted August 17, 2016 Super User Posted August 17, 2016 My reactions seem to be gender specific ~ I'll often go with either . . . . "She Choked it" or "He Hammered it". I'll also openly admit that I can never determine gender by virtue of just the strike. Once it's in the net - I don't actually care. A-Jay 1 Quote

I usually say something along the lines of, "Hey, it IS a fish". If I say anything at all. I'm usually too afraid I'll jinx it. Quote
