I like everything already mentioned!

My favorite is that pzzzzztt that braid makes when you cross a bass's eyes after a perfect pitch or flip.

Another favorite is the sound of mono or floro singing when your fighting a fish.

When you get to the boat ramp and it is still pitch black outside.  You get out to check out the situation and just stand there for a few minutes to listen to nothing but the silence.  

the sound of the birds and insects when you are the only perosn on the lake.  

The sound of loons up on a very northern lake.  if you have never heard them, you don't know what you are missing.

The sound of carp jumping (when you really wish it were bass jumping) :)

Obviously, the sound a big smallie braking the surface and tail danicng on the water.

The future sound of my new 115 Merc EFI starting up on the water for the first time!  Now that's what I'm talkin' 'bout!

Well it seems everything I would write down for this post has already been written... with the exception of one. I fish all winter long here in the midwest (lunacy, I know!) and there is nothing in the world like fishing during a good snowfall. Not a storm, but a calm slow descent of frozen water over a lake. You'd have to experience it to know what I'm talking about. The snow muffles all noises around falls to earth in complete silence. Mother Nature is beautiful!

I second that!!!!!  I caught my first bass of '06 in the snow.  It was incredible.  It kind of felt like I was the only one on Earth. Sooooooooooooooooo silent.  I know what you mean.

My favorite would defeniteley be the sound of a big bass blowing up on the surface.  Especially when it's nearly silent out and it echoes in the air a while.

My favorite sounds are:

1) bass hitting frog on lily pads

2) buzzbait on the water in the morning

3) start of take-off in the morning during a tourney

4) the sounds of a topwater disturbing the water

5) the sound of my dad, d**n son, you caught another LOL

I like to hear the bzzzzzzzzzzzzz-plop, when you make a cast.

A couple of sounds come to mind for me. One is kinda scary but gets the adreneline pumping.  RRogue and I are on the water before sun-up, and from time to time we used see a 14 ft. gator swim across in front of us and snap a duck, white feathers fluttering in the early morning light.....sounds really gross, but it definitely is a rush to be so close to such a fantastic animal.  He was relocated a year ago, I will miss him swimming beside the boat.

Another sound I enjoy is my own voice screaming, "ED! ED!", when I hook a nice bass (or chain pickerel).

Mine, without a doubt, is watching a sun rise and listening to the water and the woods wake up.

Whether I just got in the water early or was out all night I will always stop and watch the sun rise.

That is my church.

For me, it's sitting in the boat in the early morning with the mist rising off the glass smooth lake with the sun rising but not yet clearing the mountain top and the only sounds you hear are the insects, frogs, and birds. I've cast a topwater plug and am letting it sit. As I'm enjoying, and am absorbed in, the beauty, tranquility, and peace surrounding me, a bass erupts out of the water and engulfs my plug dang near scaring me out of the boat. That's the sound and cirumstances I like best.

Whenever fishing, I'm always listening to the natural sounds around me.

I really enjoy identifying birds unseen just by their song or note.

A little more climactic, I also thrill to the deep gutteral bellowing

made by the male alligator (particularly awesome at close quarters)!

More to the sport, I get an adrenalin rush whenever I hear that telltale splash

of a feeding bass. When actively foraging in the shallows, bass are literally suicidal.

I'll add another one .... The sound of the lake waking up in the spring after a long winters nap.

That sound of my buzzbait plopping in the water and the chirpping it makes as it is reeled back to the boat. Better yet the sound of a big one smacking it off the water. At first light fishing close to shore and hearing some deer breaking the silence coming to the waters edge. Watching an eagle soar overhead and hearing their call. Something I sadly miss is my dads' voice telling me to watch my bobber go under.
