I was fishing with a couple friends once from the bank with crawlers on slip rigs... I reeled in my line and said "oh man, all my crawlers are gone". My buddy then ask's "did they crawl out of the bucket?" I still tease him about it today, it's probably alot funnier if you were there.

Not fishing partner quotes, but they do apply to the outdoors...years ago one of the brothers-in-law asked if we went to Southern Minnesota for pheasant hunting because the pheasants went south for the winter....Another in-law on the other halfs side qouted as saying the reason red squirrels in his area were that way was because of the "iron in the water they drink"

On a trip up to Vergas. We went to the local tavern. I sat down next to a couple of old timers and asked if the fish where bitting. The old guy next to me looks at me straight faced and say's "gob of nightcrawler 12 feet of water on a hulla popper". After I got back on my stool I looked at him and said good one he came back with "no really".

I still use it to this day.

Great read guy's keep it up.

On the Horseshoe chain... As I pull up the rear anchor,

holler up front "You got the anchor in"? "Yes,it's in"

Proceed to motor back to dock. Motor very unresponsive.

In fact have lost five to six hundred RPM's. Start thinking

how much this dang thing is gonna cost me?? Finally get

back to dock. From up front,"Know whats wrong with your

motor" as he pulls in the front anchor!!

[Quickstrike]

whether it's stopping at a spot, pulling up to a dock, or loading the boat. the initial quote from my parter is, "coming in hot!" usually followed by a "thud!" of some sort and me laughing and looking for fresh scratches on the boat.

I've got too many good ones to count although me and my buddies would probally be the only ones to find them funny.

Fishing on the Minong all day, 12 plus hours. We had five legal eyes in the well with some crappies coming off the water. I had caught three leagals , my buddy two.

Approached by game warden at the landing, who apparantly had been watching us with binocs for a few hours as we caught and released many smaller eyes on slips. He asks what we have, I tell him five eyes, one short of our limit. He points to the sign and says "limit is two per guy this year". My buddy and I turned pure white. It had been three the year before and we didn't check the sign.

He starts grilling us (to make us sweat). We are very nervous. This goes on for a few minutes and we are really freaking out, he's talking about hundrends of dollars in fines, etc. We are both ethical to a fault. Finally he lets me take one of the eyes and put it back in the lake.

As he is walking away and we are getting in the truck, my buddy looks at me and says:

"You meat hog!"

Early Saturday morning after a rough Friday night, my buddy throws up over the side of the boat and then asks me if chumming is legal in South Dakota. Made my day. Don't know about his.

Fishing Blanch Lake near Otter tail. Buddies family used to have a family Bass tourney the day B4 eye opener. It was a big family get together, strictly all catch and release, a traveling trophy with toilet paper holder and all.

My buddy and I are in his boat casting top-water buzz-baits on the south side of the lake, catching Bass hand over fist when I notice a boat coming across the lake toward us. My buddy says, "that's my brother and his buddy, lets pay no attention to them." Little did we know it was the DNR.

He pulls up and grabs the boat and my buddy says.

"Its about time you showed up A/Hole."

That set the tone for some interesting questions LIKE,

You fellas been drinking? And this was my favorite, REMEMBER, we have large buzz baits on.

What are you guys fishing for? My friend, without even missing a beat or even smirking tells the officer, CRAPPIE!

I thought I was going to crappie in my pants!!

He didn't buy it and said you guys must be in this local Bass tourney. You know its illegal to fish for a species when the species season is closed and let us off with a warning. He has been really good to that family over the years and doesn't bother them during their tourney. He fishes with the father of the family who owns a cabin on Blanch.

Anyone who says DNR or GFP officers dont have a sence of humor or patience, should think again.

Fishing on Kabetogama in about 1971 or 1972. I was 9 or 10 and we were fishing with my dad and my maternal grandfather, who had never been walleye fishing before and had seen one too many bass fishing shows, hooks a perch and is horsing it in like a LM Bass. He doesn't realize how close to the surface it is and rears back on the rod one more time and the fish breaks the water, flies over the boat and lands on the other side of the boat in the water. My little brother (About 7 or 8 at the time)hollers, "What kind of fish was that?" My Dad, not missing a beat, replied, "A flying fish." Both Dad and Grandpa are gone now, but we still tell that story every year when we are up there and it has become a favorite of my kids.

[Glockwinger]

While on the water having a successful day catching crappies, my buddy watched the bobber go down and set the hook. His eyes got wide and he said, "This is not a crappie!" Turned out to be a 4 pound largemouth bass. To this day when we catch a big fish we ask "Is it a crappie?" and of course the standard response: This is NOT a crappie.

[B@ssmaster]

Crew of 7 or 8 buddies going out on the water early morning to find a campsite in the BWCA. Lake is absolutely glass flat. Sun is beating down on us, starting to get hot. The last of the fog is burning off the water. Just a gorgeous morning! One of the guys grew up in the area, and we had spent the night before visiting with one of his relatives, a local beverage distributor. Actually, we spent most of the night sitting in his relative's cooler in the warehouse drinking cans from broken cases, was a late night. Plan was to get up early to hit the water, so we didn’t get a ton of sleep. So anyway, back to the boat. Both boats were playing hopscotch down the lakeshore looking for an unoccupied campsite. One of the guys is starting to look a little green around the gills. After a while, he can't hold it back any longer, he starts chumming over the side of the boat. The rest of us in his boat being the compassionate guys we are began laughing our butts off. One of the guys in the other boat sees what is going on and yells sarcastically "what's the matter Jim?" Jim doesn't even miss a beat and between heaves yells back: "the water is too rough today!"

Whenever someone has a fish-on and loses it, my buddies says, "Long-line release".

While half way through a set of rapids in Canada, younger brother in the front of the boat watching for rocks and giving directions, older brother driving his boat. Little brother "Left.... No Right... No... AAAHHH F#$@ It!" as he sits down and the motor hits a rock

At a resort in Canada, we were on some nice walleyes all week. We meet a couple from Iowa who was struggling to get enough walleyes to eat so we offered to let them follow us. About 15 minutes into it, dad catches a 25" walleye, holds it up to show everybody, and releases it. The guy from Iowa says with disbelief "Now why in Gods name would you let a nice fish like that go?" Little brother (about 12 at the time) says "because these are walleyes, they don't reproduce as fast as the bullheads you have in Iowa!" Guy from Iowa didn't know whether to be insulted or laugh with the rest of us.

Thats got to be one of the funniest things I have ever heard!

Seriously though... I sure hope the rest of the country is catching onto the principle of "Let em Go... Let em Grow!"

No need to keep nice fish anymore with the quality of replicas they can make now!

[gorrilla]

Buck Perry once said, "The fish are either shallow, deep, or somewhere in between..."

[genegodawa]

I forget how it goes exactly, but something like:

"When it's cloudy, fish shallow and when it's sunny fish deeper. And if that don't work, do the opposite"!

So the lottery was over $150 million a few weeks ago and on my charter boat I say to my customers: "Boys next year were gonna have a brand new boat if I win the lottery." Just then my first mate (who is quite the character) say. "Dont have to worry about that, cause I bought the winnning lottery ticket this morning; and I told the wife when I win pack your bags! And she says: Warm or cold? Then I told her "NO,... PACK YOUR BAGS!" My customers and I laughed for an hour!
