Good Fishing Quotes

[Weed Shark]

Just thought of another one. My dad was ice-fishing when a friend, who had arived separately noticed him. The friend zipped his Korean war issue parka hood around his face and snuck up to my dad with his auger in ready position and said, "Move your foot."

When my fishing partner (to this day) and I were real young we made a rookie mistake. He had a big fish on close to shore and I said "Horse it in!"...he tried and his line broke...so to this day when one of us has a nice fish on we always jokingly say "Horse it in!".

***1) My friend while trolling on the flats on Mille Lacs (Big 22' boat and windy).

Me: "hows that gas situation..."

My friend: "We have plenty of gas."

30 mins later the kicker dies and we are calling for a tow on the marine radio because all three of us left our cell phones on shore.

***2) Opener on Vermilion a few years ago (camping on an island).

Me (15 min to midnight): "Lets get going..."

My buddy (running): " (yelling)Get over here...were not going anywhere...the boats under water!"

Me: "Oh Sh!T"

Then I watch him get into the freezing cold water to see if the plug was in....and it was! LOL

Years and years ago when a buddy and I would paddle around the lily pads and cast plastic frogs for bass, there was a time when we hadnt had a bite for a while and him or I said "Jeez, fishin's kinda slow", and within 15 seconds one of us got a fish. Sometime that same day it was slow again so one of us piped up: "man, fishin's kinda slow", and again another fish.

We still say that to this day when fishin's kinda slow, but we've found it doesnt work as well when you force it.

Sometimes one guy catches all of the fish and of course the conversation goes something like this: How deep are you? Same as you. What colr are you using? Same as you. What size minnow? Same as you. What size hook? Same as you. Dang, here I thought it was something special not just the same stuff I've been using.

I was running low on waxies this winter and asked Ole Matty for a few. His reply, "FIVE BUCKS!" So the ongoing joke now for any borrowed item is 5 bucks.
