How to tell when a fisherman is lying: WHEN HIS LIPS BEGIN TO MOVE....

All fishermen are not liars but an awful lot of liars fish.

You can never have too many poles in the boat.

" If you are lucky enough to be fishing, you're lucky enough."

About 25 years ago my long time former boss was conducting an annual performance review. I had worked for the company for 1 year. At the conclusion of the review he told me that I seemed to be focused on fishing and took every opportunity to take off and go. He wanted me to put my job first and suggested that I might want to work on my vacation days and some weekends.

I told him " When I old and gray and laying on my death bed I'm not going be laying there wishing I would have worked more."

We parted about 6 months later...

The River Why! One of my all time favorite books. I've never really run across another person who has read it. It's ben years and my copy is totally ragged, but maybe I'll read it again now that you've quoted it here on FM.

Most of the lines I think of are the ones being repeated again & again:

When my brother-in-law & I repeated a snapshot of our constant boat dialogue to our wives I don't know what was so funny?

"15 feet, few weeds, & fish"

"I had a hit"

"what kind of bite?"

"Is it running with it?"

"Dang, I think he dropped it"

"Did he get your crawler?"

"Is it weedy here?"

A quote from my uncle Tom. "Troll at 14 feet towards Patricks Restaurant" said while sipping a windsor 7. That was his "pattern" every year while growing up. He had the little pike nailed down.

Bait your own hook.

Keep it, you can eat small fish, but you can't eat NO fish.

My wife hung a plaque in the den that says:

"An old fisherman lives here.....with the catch of his life."

Lake Alice,

Yeah, The River Why, is positively one of the best books I have ever read. I know all about having a raggedy copy. I actually have 1 hard cover and 2 paperbacks of that book. Glad to hear somebody has enjoyed that read as much as I have.

I think I read it for the first time when I was about 12 or 13, wading the shorelines of White Bear Lake cathing bass by myself. I could really relate to Glum Gus and everything he was about. The passage about his little trout in the fish tank feeding like Dr J is priceless.

Maybe someone should start a new thread, great fishing books/stories. For those of you with kids, I reccommend Bob Carey's book Tales from Jackpine Bob. I am reading it to my boys right now.

It works in lakes, rivers, reservoirs- spring, front, summer and fall! Now dats got to get your attention. It's da jig.

[Guest]

I got two...

1) Often used quote for guides...."I can put you on fish but I cant make em bite"...lol

and who can forget #2.....

"SUUUNNNNNN!!!!!.....THATS A HOG!!!!!"

and to go along with that....

"THAT MUST BE A 5 POUNDER!!!!"

[merc]

And of course when you talk to someone who was fishing by himself.

"You should have been there, it was the biggest limit of fish I ever got".

[98prosport]

let's not forget...
Better to be out fishin and thinkin bout church than to be at church thinkin bout fishin!
