"Bow to the cow" is the best!

I also like "Wood is Good"
and Nebe's "Wood is good, but soft plastic is fantastic!"
and then "Once you tallywhack, you never go back"

I guess I just like advertisements for plug makers...

That's why they call it fishing, not catching.

You can't catch what ain't there.

"Better make sure your shoes are tied tight or you'll get jerked out of them"

A friend of mine used to scream at the water "EAT ME Mr. Bass!! EAT ME!" on his first cast..

When a fish really slams a plug ... "He knocked it nekid!"

My all time favorite is when someone asks "Where did you catch em?" we always used to form our finger in the shape of a hook, pull it into the side of our mouth and say with our jaw stretched out, "about right there". :bl: :bl:

Group of guys I fish with in Maine were up there and this guy is running around with a 6'6" rod throwing a croc. Now theres blues directly in front of them and this guy is screaming at everyone around him to BRING IT IN STRAIGHT :rotflmao: So this guy finally hooks up with his trout rod, and he's weaving in and around people and he had a beach full for folks screaming at him to BRING IT IN STRAIGHT.

Now, in the fall, when they're thick I love going down to soco and getting into some combat fishing just so I can scream at people to BRING IT IN STRAIGHT!!! :rotflmao: :rotflmao:
