My Favorites

Fun Quotes:
"Hooksets are free"
"FLAAAAG!!!"
"Eating bass is for people who can't catch walleye...or perch or crappie or pike or bluegill."
"I'll punch 50 holes before I sit over one for five minutes, some people say I have ADD on the ice, I'm sorry what were we talking about?"
"It's not that fishing is so important, it's just that so many things in life are so much less important." (Forgot author)
"When in doubt, set the hook."
"You shoulda been here yesterday."
"Work is for suckers, suckers are for fishing, therefore, work is for fishing"
"Fish more, work less"
"Despite what you've been taught there are only three seasons: Ice fishing, openwater fishing and hunting."
"Just one more last cast"
"Give a man a fish and he eats for a day, teach a man to fish and he'll never go back to work."

Serious Quotes:
"Many men fish all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after." - Thoreau
"The animal killed in jest, dies in earnest." - Thoreau
"Swarms of living creatures will live wherever the river flows. There will be large numbers of fish...where the river flows everything will live." Ezekiel 47:9, Christian Bible
"In the end mankind will be judged by two things - by what we create, and by what we refuse to destroy" - Teddy Roosevelt (I think?)

The one quote I can't stand:
"That's why they call it fishing and not catching."  Makes me wanna punch someone.

If I think of more, I'll post them.
Born to fish, forced to go to work and think about fishing and talk about fishing with coworkers.

I guess my favorite is a slogan that is actually trademarked/copyrighted by another website I frequent

"SHUT UP AND FISH"

There are lots of t-shirts, hats, etc with this phrase on them and most are actually illegal

I was having breakfast with a friend that was hung over while we were at a resort on Lake Oahe. A farmer walked in that was missing a hand and my dipstick buddy says "Bitin that good eh?". It felt kinda normal being under the table after that one. :woot:

You can't catch fish sitting in your living room

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day, teach a man to fish, he'll fall asleep, drunk in a boat on Sunday

"I've caught more fish than you've lied about"

There's a "fine line" between catching and losing a fish

I would fish more, but work keeps getting in the way

I set the hook so hard, I crossed his eyes

I got something in my eye,  I can"t see going to work

"Bearing...Mark...Solut ion Ready...Weapon Ready...FIRE TUBE 2!"

ok, wrong kinda of fishing..... ;D

One thing Dad never had to tell me;

"I'm not guaranteeing you'll catch anything, but I will guarantee you'll catch nothing sitting at home"

"Hey the lake froze over last night, how think is it?"..."Not sure, but Bill is out on it"..."I don't see him"..."Guess it isn't think enough then"<<<<spoken Monday, Jan 2nd....Bill was ok, just a bit cold and wet.. ;)

It has always been my private conviction that any man who pits his intelligence against a fish and looses, has it coming.
