"the fun and excitement of todays fishing trip will not be shared by the fish"

[Astrobass]

One that I say, I catch myself saying it out loud from time to time...

"Here fishy, fishy!" I'm sure my fishing partner thinks I'm crazy. LOL

"Hey, that smells like fish!"

"Give a man a fish & he'll eat for a day ...
Teach a man to fish & he'll be broke for life."

"Planning, driving, towing, backing, ramping, docking, gassing, piloting, trolling, baiting, casting, reeling......who has the energy to catch anything? "

"When the wind BLOWS, it *****. When the fish ****, they BITE. unless the SUCKERS aren't BITING".

One from my husband, "My biggest worry is that my wife (when I'm dead) will sell my fishing gear for what I said I paid for it."

My version of this:

Partner: His head is too close ta it's tail.

Another one of my favorites, when holding up a nice fish for someone to admire:

Friend: "Nice fish! Where'd ya catch it"?
Me: <puts finger in mouth like a fishhook> "Right here!"

My all-time favorite from Patrick F. McManus:

"Scholars have long known that fishing turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosophers salary. I have always thought it would be better if fishing turned men into Wall Street bankers, but that is not the case. Its philosophers or nothing."
