Thread: Fishing Phrases

  1. #1

    Default Fishing Phrases

    Right now I am watching the TV Show "North To Alaska", with Larry Csonka, and I have heard many fishing words, like "Big Fish!"
    I am not going to repeat every word they said. I want to hear from you what your favorite exclamations are?

    Default fishing phrases

    My wife noticed that most of the time when a large fish was caught and presented to the camera the anglers usually talked long and hard about its size and weight. On the other hand when a very small fish was brought to net, all they could come up with was "purty little fish!"

    I seem way to partial to "long distance release". I've about wore that phrase out.
    I can think of few acts more selfish than refusing a vaccination.

    I met Csonka at the Reno airport several years ago, just a year or so after he took over the TV show from Buktus. I was standing in a line of 2 people when he walked up and dumped a couple of duffel bags. I turned around looked at him and knew I should know who he was, but it didn't come immediately. I turned back around and ask "Are you Dick Buktus?"

    He replied "Diplomacy isn't your long suite is it?" He turned out to be a pretty nice guy, I remembered that he had his last training camp in my home town just south of Memphis. Playing for the Memphis Grizzlies, USFL.

    I fish with a guy that if you ask him how the fishing is, his standard answer is "Just got here". Doesn't matter if he has been fishing all day long you will get the same reply; "Just got here".
