LOL Randy! laugh ...

Those are some very astute, sophisticated, yet ubiquitous phrases from the legendary writers. confused [huh?]

Can we do better?

- "... that is winter steelheading: long hours of cold, interminable work, punctuated with breathless moments of excitement." Steve Raymond 'The Year Of The Angler' (1973) >
- Should have been "... that is winter steelheading: long hours of getting corked, losing fish, falling in the water, punctuated by the breathless moments of excitement while watching guys fistfight at Blue Creek" RT

- "Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after."
Henry David Thoreau >
- Missing something. Oh ya, "Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after, but actually women." RT confused

- "Twas employment for his idle time, which was then not idly spent. For angling was...a rest to his mind, a cheerer of his spirits, a diverter of sadness, a calmer of unquiet thoughts..."
Izaak Walton >
- Ah ... "Twas employment that he skipped, which was then a demerrit. For angling was...a rest to his behind, a cheerleader in his mind, a converter to unemployment, a catalist of naughty thoughts..." RT laugh

- "There is a pleasure in madness that only madmen know" Alexander Pope
- "There is a pleasure in badness that only bad men know!" RT

- "If I can't have Rosignol, then give me Head" ... anonymous
- "If I can't have Rosignol, then give me Head"... RT (I'll take the blame laugh )

"Fish to hook, flight of fantsy, by my side the magnificent chrome do lay, yonder my mind wanders back to that day, when I caughteth my first steelhead. Magnifico! 'twas like an out of body experience! ... I beckon that immortal day. ... Oh wait, it was yesterday." Justin Guse

"... I make it a rule never to weigh or measure a fish I've caught, but simply to estimate its dimensions as accurately as possible, and then, when telling about it, to improve these figures by roughly a fifth, or twenty percent. I do this mainly because most people believe all fishermen exaggerate by at least twenty percent, and so I allow for the discounting my audience is almost certain to apply." Ed Zern "Are Fishermen really Liars?" (1977)

" [The Steelhead] can hurdle into the air a split second after he is hooked, and flash hugely out in in the murk, like the sword Excalibur thrust up from the depths - at once a gleaming prize and a symbol of the battle." Paul O'Neil "Excalibur: The Steelhead" (1957) wink

Forgot a few of my personal favs...

I prefer the good ole American way.

Examples:

1. General MacAuliffe, Bastogne- "NUTS"!
2. John Paul Jones-I have not yet begun to fight!
3. General George Patton- "Wade into them, spill their blood, shoot them in the belly!"
4. General G.C. Marshall- "We are determined that before the sun sets on this terrible struggle our flag will be recognized throughout the world as a symbol of freedom on the one hand, of overwhelming power on the other."

5. General George Patton- "No ******* ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb ******* die for his country."

6. General George Patton- "Americans love to fight. All real Americans love the sting of battle."
7. General Douglas Macarthur- "I shall return."
8. General Eisenhower- "United in this determination and with unshakable faith in the cause for which we fight, we will, with God's help, go forward to our greatest victory."

9. Admiral Nimitz- "It is the function of the Navy to carry the war to the enemy so that it will not be fought on U.S. soil."

10. General Chesty Puller- "All right, they're on our left, they're on our right, they're in front of us, they're behind us... they can't get away this time."

11. Colonel Francis W. Dawson- "Rangers, Lead The Way!"

cool

Are you sure it's a fish?
How many you got?
What color?
How much lead?
Where did you catch that?
What are you feeling for?
How's the take?
How deep?
Can I have your eggs?
You didn't even have to set the hook!
Pull!
What a chromer!
Dam Chum!
Any luck?
Dam snag!
Get your tip out of my face!
Dam longliners!
Great, more beeks!

Never knock on Death's door; ring the doorbell and run (he hates that).

Never take life seriously. Nobody gets out alive, anyway.

Living on Earth is expensive, but it does include a free trip around the sun.

It's not the pace of life that concerns me, it's the sudden stop at the end.

Life is sexually transmitted

Half the people you know are below average.

I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

Dancing is a perpendicular expression of a horizontal desire.

Save the whales. Collect the whole set.
