Fishing quotes

Fishing: a jerk on one end of a line waiting for a jerk on the other end!!

[DoubleDigits]

As a counter to the 'Its not called catching...' sentiment:

'Fishing without the fish is like football without the football' - Rex Hunt

Hey folks, first post here, one of my favourite fishing quotes is. " Some people go to church and think about fishing,and others go fishing and think about God".

 

Cheers

 

Amen brother...Amen

 

I tried to convince my step-daughter in Florida about this but I lost the argument, It was Easter Sunday...

Santiago from the Old Man And The Sea, and I quote:

 

“The fish is my friend too...I have never seen or heard of such a fish. But I must kill him. I am glad we do not have to try to kill the stars. Imagine if each day a man must try to kill the moon, he thought. The moon runs away. But imagine if a man each day should have to try to kill the sun? We were born lucky; he thought”

 

cheers

I always liked this one from the movie A River Runs Through it;

 

“Eventually, all things merge into one, and a river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops. Under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs.

I am haunted by waters.”

― Norman Maclean, A River Runs Through It

"There is no head like steelhead"

When someone comes up and asks, "How is the fishing?" I say, "Great when I catch this next one I will have one..."
