Super User FryDog62 Posted March 3, 2020 Author Super User Posted March 3, 2020 Ok... to the east coast guys - how come you don't pronounce the "H" in words like "Huge" or "Humid" but you do for other words like "Halibut" or "Hook?" (I mean Huk?) I hear this and I say “What the ell?" in my best Fargo accent... ? 1 Quote

I hate it with all my being, but it does no good to correct them. Meanwhile, if they caught an actual perch (which there are very few of here), they'd probably have no idea what they were looking at. It's a baby WALLEYE! Quote
Ogandrews Posted March 4, 2020 Posted March 4, 2020 There’s a couple that drive me nuts people calling rapalas Rap-You-las, idk how they can get the you sounds out of a word with only A’s but it happens around here people calling line thread people calling suicks swicks people calling spinnerbaits spinners people calling tubes squid baits walleye guys calling largemouth green carp people calling all lures rapalas, seems like every time I’m fishing in northern MN some guy will come up to me and ask what kind of Rapala their biting on today People calling shimano Shaman-o even heard a couple guys say st Croix literally how it was spelled, saying the x and everything. Took all my willpower not to burst out laughing when I heard that Quote

But I am seeing the value of owning lures that work well without any need for tuning or modifications. I may advance to higher priced lures one day. Quote
Super User J Francho Posted March 4, 2020 Super User Posted March 4, 2020 I have a $25 Popmax that has caught well over 500 bass. I've replaced the hooks a couple times, and it has bad hook rash, but has been catching for three years. Hands down, my most productive bait. Quote
papajoe222 Posted March 5, 2020 Posted March 5, 2020 It isn't a mispronunciation, but anglers, even some pros, that use the term structure when speaking about cover. When they're actually talking about structure, they use some other term; "When you find structure on a point, it can be a fish magnet." HUH???? 1 Quote
