The pastor at my church said this once on opening weekend. They was a large number of woman in church without their husbands it was assumed they were all fishing. So he said the following

"It is better that your men are on a lake fishing and thinking about god than in church thinking about fishing"

I have never forgot that one I figure it is a good motto to live by.

My dad used to nail me with the "Are you here to fish or are you here to dance". This was when I would get restless in the boat at a young age.

[Hammer Handle]

When waking me up before sunrise to fish, my dad would say "Wake up, the birds are singing and the fish are farting".

My grandpa used to measure fish on his arm. He would stick out his arm and point at his elbow "The northern was this long". He said then you "couldn't just estimate by holding your hands apart".

And, one more...a real old timer quote. "Are you gonna fish with that or just knock apples out of the trees?" My grandpa told my grandma that once when she was fishing with her cane pole.

[huskywings66]

Hey i got a fish stick! (after snagging a branch.)

I'll catch the fish you catch the salad. (my brother after i brought up a wad of weeds.)

When I got back into fishing I had a friend tell me "you can't catch anything if you don't leave the line in the water" I was casting and retreiving, I cast out the spinner hit the water and was hit by a northern right away. My response was "how many you got"

[Good Time Ranger]

I only fish on days that end in "Y".

I only fish on days that end in "Y".

That's odd I only drink on days that end in "Y".

Now if I can only get in that much fishing...hmmmm.

My favorite is "should have been here yesterday".

"Any minute now"

or just leaving the lake, "we should be there now".

A quote from dad ice fishing, "if you see bubbles come up, that means a fish burped, and, now he has more room for food, get ready"

Get ready! yeah right, I was waiting for a hour and nothing, followed by the "any minute now".

[Kyle Sandberg]

I really enjow this topic.

Mine would have to be, "One more cast". Then it's always 20 casts later before you have to go in.

[FL SNIPER]

I'll always remember my dad saying:

"Whoever catches the last fish is the champ"

and somehow I always caught the last one even though he outfished me 10 to 1.

He still says it to this day (and still out fishes me! )

[Weed Shark]

I was listening to a couple fisherman talk about Al Lindner. Someone else asked, "Who the h*** is Al Lindner?" One of the fisherman responded, "Who the h*** is Abe Lincoln?"

Back when I was a younger hooligan, a friend and I were bringing about 9 carp up the hill from the river at the Rapidan Dam, for transplantation into the Mankato State University fountain, when we came across a couple of men who were apparenly recent arrivals to America. They sincerely asked, "What kind of fish are those?" They asked the wrong guys, "WALLEYES!" we told them. They seemed to buy that.

I overheard a seemingly novice ice-fisherman chatting up an old-timer say, "I hear they start biting at 4:00." The old-timer, sitting on a bucket, grumbled, "I haven't caught one yet that was wearing a wrist-watch."
