Here's a couple more on hook sets:

"When in doubt, set the hook!"
"Hook sets are free"

If fishing was easy it would be called your momma.. unknown

That fish was so big when I pulled her outta the water the lake level dropped three inches!

Jimmy Houston had a show where they were killing them on a Zara Spook. His partner caught a tiny bass on his Spook. Jimmy said, "That fish has been on there for three casts, you just weren't checking both sides!"

After catching one on plastic I'll tell my pardoner, "I felt him looking at it".

We had a guy in our bass club that passed away and he would always say ""That fish must have been Yawing""

This old man in church always has pictures and stories about his crappie fishing trips. When anyone questions him at to where he caught them, he always replies " Most of them in the top lip".

As seen on the lake fork marina men's room,
"Some anglers catch their biggest fish by the tale."

I learned a new saying this year when we got a stick on the line and reel it in.........."Tree-Pounder"

And I say it a lot when someone is hung up well and they get it out without having to retrieve it....."Houdini"

" Giant.. Giant.. Get the net!!"

Now that's a 7-8-9 pound bass.... (while holding it right to the camera lens) - Roland Martin

A fishermen is the most trustworthy liar you'll ever meet.
