I have yet to catch a fish at 60 mph

Running and gunning in a tournament is like buying a powerball ticket, you have a chance of winning but the odds are about the same

It's not how fast you get there, it is what you do after you get there that counts

Did I put the plug in?

I fish because I can

Question from prospective client: " If I book with you, how many 5lb bass can you guarantee me?"

Answer: " What day was that you wanted, sorry I am already booked that day, here is the number for another guide" or "If I could guantee a 5lb bass every day they would already have built a statue of me on Ky Dam"

"Well, the Captain is here now, you fish can start biting anytime your ready"

"Depth is a relative term"

If I wanted to make a lot of money I would not be a guide

If you fish don't eat pretty soon your going to starve to death

I have lost every arguement I have ever had with a bass

Here are two my wife says I blurt out in my sleep at night: "Slow Down" "Set the Hook"

Here is one that has gotten me in trouble a couple of times: "You set the hook like a little girl"

To those that pull up on top of me and won't look at me: "Would you like to fish out of my boat?"

I could think of a lot more if I took a few more minutes but got to go!
