An optimist is any wife/girlfriend who thinks her man won't fish anyway!" - Author Unknown

How many times have you heard or in fact started out a fishing statement or story by saying, "this guy I know". Bigfish and I were on the road last week and chuckled quite awhile about all the time we heard fish stories start off with those four words. This guy I know, this guy I know, I am just going to say from now on TGIK.

here's some of my favorites:

"When I beached this striper, I was astounded to see that it was not the brute that I had expected. It later weighed only 43 pounds, but I needn't have weighed it because I was certain that the fish I was after was still out there. And she was. Again, she slid through a curling wave, I laid a cast where it should have been and hooked up right away. Pulling line from the spool, she went out over bars into line that my 43 had not even moistened~~~ and then I dropped her. If not a record, she would have been, I am certain, my personal best. He gives trophy stripers and He takes them away. It is one of the rules." ~Frank Daignault from TheTrophy Striper

when asked what did you catch that monstah on,
JimmmySly once said~ "an eeeeeeeeeel big enuff to scare small children."

"moisture is the essence of wetness, wetness is the essence of beauty." ~Rob Bartolini

Some of my favorites:

"We'll take the car and drive all night. We'll get drunk. We'll go fishing and stay away until she's gone."
Sam the Piano Player from the film Casablanca. (Sam is offering this advice to Humphrey Bogart as an antidote to Bogie's broken heart.)


"If you believe breeding in warm shallow water is strictly for the fishes, you haven't tried it in a hot tub."
Dr. Paul Quinnett


"It was considered an act of courtesy not to ask where someone caught their bass, if you did you deserved a lie."
Dennis Zambrotta from "The Snowstorm Blitz"
