Subject: Different things people ask a guide...2005


A few things from my book from 2005:

How many fish will we get?

How long will it take to get one, my wife wants me back for dinner?

Can you mark my map and program my GPS?

How come you don't drink no more dude?

Dose the CO come out on the lake to check you often?

How much is the fine for "NO LIGHTS" on this lake?

So that was not a monster, when can we expect to see a monster?

Do you mind just showing me spots as I really don't feel like fishing today?

So what band had the best groupies?

How do you work this $@#% thing?

Why do you call it Bug Island?

If musky are not bitting, can we fish for something else?

How do you get home from here at night? (I point to the stars)

Can you swim around here?

I know the rule is one rod, but when I'm out alone I use three.

I had a monster on this lure in July 2004, see the teeth marks?
(Pointing to hook scratch pattern)

You ever meet Ozzy man?

Seeing how we did not get one, can we talk about the balance due?

Other guides I have hired let me drive the trolling motor.

Now that we got one how long before the next bite?

What happens if I forgot to buy my fishing License?

Man if it rains I'm gonna die.

Is that a %$#@ moose or something?

Ever hear of kids geting bit swiming?

On days when your not booked can we go out FREE?

Did you know I helped design the split ring?

Hey, dose it get really dark on the lake at night?

We will be out in an hour or so, can we bring you a hamburger? (I drove home for lunch, they never knew I left the dock)

Why do you have a 225 Merc? I hate Merc's!!

Nice boat man, want to sell it?

Well I need all this stuff we just have to make room, I bought it man.

Anyone ever tell you that you look like Michale Mcdonald?

I'm done with him for sure, are you still married?

I really hate bucktails, bucktails suck, can I use yours?

Is there a place on the lake we can go have a few shots before lunch?

Ever eat them Loons?

Hey man are them bullet holes in your leg?

DO you hit a lot of rocks an stuff?

Where can I poop?

Why do people keep waving at us?

Why do I have to wear a life jacket, dose this boat go that fast?

Ever hook an Eagle? I did on my Jackpot, see the marks?

Can I use your rod, mine really sucks, $400 down the tubes.

Geeezzz is it always so pretty up here, how do you do that?

Man did you learn to fish muskie or did you just always know how?

Are you related to the guy in Alabama?

If we keep one will you skin it for us? (NOT!!!)

If possiable can we fish areas where chicks are sunbathing and stuff?

What do you do for a living?

Here's an extra $100, I want to fish in back alone. You keep my wife up front and out of my %@$& Face.

I hate casting, can we troll for a while?

Ever seen a muskie eat a deer?

Ever see a muskie eat an Eagle, I did.

Is four musky a good day, I pretty happy?

Sure is a long time sice we got last one, dose this happen alot?

Well, he should not have been standing next to me so close. Hooks are sharpe ya know.

Is that Canada over thier?

How do you get out to the Island?

Ever get one that big before, Holly $#@&.

Do the musky ever eat beaver?

Want a chunk of cheese?

Is this like as hard for you as it is for me man?

Ever hear of doing the figure "5"?

I hate Weeds, can we only fish rocks.

Tons more from my journal but #1 to me in 2005 was:

Kid, awesome stuff!

You have my all time favorite in there, "on the days your not booked can we go out free?"

My favorite from the boat last year,

"do you know how to get back to the landing from here?"

From To Hell With Fishing, Ed Zern, Published 1945:
'No wonder why normal people can't stand fishermen. Fishermen can't stand each other. They have to pay people to keep them company.

Guides are people who can stand anybody. For seven dollars a day and their keep, they will associate with fishermen. For eight dollars a day, who knows WHAT they would do?

In the evening, guides sit around the campfire and spit in it. They like to hear the sizzle. After a day of fishing, it makes sense.

Fishermen are called 'picturesque'. Guides call fishermen 'sports'. Other guides know what they mean.'

My favorite from 2005.

Why are we still out here at lunch time, do Muskies bite at different times?

Another, from me to Slamr:
Cast over by that rock, there's ALWAYS a Muskie over by that rock. (I've actually never caught a muskie by the rock, but others were rumored to have done so)

But Mr. Worrall, dont you remember the full conversation?

Worrall: Cast over by that rock, there's always a fish there.

Slamr: Is there really always a fish over by that rock, or is that just a guide thing?

Worrall: actually, I dont think I've ever caught or seen a fish by that rock.

Slamr: then why do you say it?

Worrall: old guide thing, keeps people interested. who knows, there MIGHT be a fish by that rock.

But my favorite Worrall-ism is the absolute RUSH to get out on the water.....as soon as the second major or minor hits. When fishing out of the Hideout, one must accept that Mr. Worrall's fish do NOT like breakfast eating, though he does. Hitting the water at the CRACK OF 11, with a full belly, is (I must admit) much more enjoyable than grabbing one cup of coffee, a cold bagel and flailing at the water until that major/minor hits.
In retrospect, being that we average about 2 fish in the boat/day, I kind of believe in the major/minor theories. And, its kind of cool to hit the water at 10:30, know the minor is at 11, boat one at 11:30, and be off the water at 4PM, with a few more fish to your credit!

Reminds of when I was out fishing with my son at a local lake near a beach where the college girls go to tan.
Jon asked me, "Dad, how much would you give me to cast and hook one of their tops?"

I replied, "How much do you need?"

Probably some of the best I have heard in 2005 was.....

"When I get one, and my buddy gets one at the same time, get his first then come over and net mine."

"So how deep are you going to set the bobber on this thing?" He had on a glide bait and thought we were just gonna attach a bobber to it, cast it out, and just let it sit there.....

"You actually want me to throw this lure? A musky will hit this thing?" 2 casts later, he released a 42 on a Mag. Eagle Tail

"I'm snagged" Quote from a guy that popped a nice 4 footer jigging with me 22 feet down in 45 feet of water.

"Sorry for getting tar all over your boat carpet, but it's no big deal, it will come out."

"Do you know how to get ahold of Cady so I can get a Weagle?"

"Muskies eat at night....really......so you've caught some doing this before?"

Just like Tom, the list goes on and on......

I love it, I love it! It is so obvious why a person can enjoy guiding so much. Tommy, that is one hell of a list! Howie...you're my hero!

My personal favorites:


"I gotta tell you, I'm kind of dissapointed with only three fish. When I went bass fishing with a guide in TN we caught over 30."

"Good thing you get those for free!" - after karatee chopping his rod against his brother's trying to cast.

"I don't know about you but where I come from snags don't move!"

Great stuff Tommy!

Tom and I talk about this every time we fish together. Here is one I get alot;

"So, you've caught fish here before?"

Or, You must know the Nelson's, they live on Wakemup Bay.

"Are you as good as Chad Cain?"

"Ace"

My favorites, or should I say least favorites are:

- Are there rocks out here? (with a perplexed look on their face as we are fishing over 60' of water)

- How shallow are we? (see above)

- Are you kidding me? We are fishing here? (again over very deep water)

- You actually catch fish here? (over 60' of water)

- I think I'm snagged! (as the rod slowly thumps over deep water)

These are awesome, LOL

Next time I hire a guide, I'm using some of these for sure!

There's a few I've been wanting to try:


"there a place around here where we can get that thing fried up for lunch?"

"oh my GOD what the hell kind of fish is THAT? Those swim in here?! Get me the hell outta here NOW!"

"So... do you always fish like that?"

or when trolling:

"can't this thing go any faster?"

Fun Stuff, looks like some people really like this kind of humor.

Without these things guiding would just be like any other job.
Thanks everyone who helped make this post possiable...


Couple more from junk in my stash.


Geeezz dude, that was, like unreal. Did you see that man..$@#&% ? (Missing his fourth fish)

My nail polish sure took a beating today? (My Response: Dude, everything will be OK...? Doh!!!!!

You ever drink from the lake?

Maybe these hooks are just TO SHARP?

How the heck you got power on an Island any how? Sattelite?

Guess setting the hook is a might tougher like you said?

Is their a lot of rocks an stuff under the surface we won't see but should fish? Hmmmm?

Man I never seen a fish do that before. WOW!! LOL x 1000

Musky are like walleye to me as they eat the same stuff, only different.

PLEASE show me how to do THAT for sure.

When fish move, do they ever relocate someplace else?

Man that is one ugly lure, really ugly. Want to sell it?

Got any secret spots that YOU don't even fish?

Holly crap that was a gas..can we do it again? (Casting from deck on knees in 4' waves)

Well Terry me boy, maybe the reason is we should fish more, laugh less? NAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!

Bet I could ping that sucker in the brain with this reef hawg from here. (Bret E.)

Hey, how ya doing, can ya tell me where Pike Bay is? >>>>> YOUR IN IT!!!

That wind comes up strong and fast don't it? (Said while he was removing his pee drenched jeans)

Darn shoes are sposed to be water tight, all they are on me is TIGHT.

No FILM, NO FILM, only I could do that.

If 30' is deepest water around here, how deep are they when their on the bottom?

My friend wanted to come again, but he figured you would work him to hard.

Brain Freeze in June is a good thing.

Man I swear that fish winked at me.

If it is the north end of the lake on a map, why do you refur to it as the west end here on the lake?

I never heard of two guides living on the same lake fishing together, weird...?

Well I was going to give you a tip but my wife took all the money.

Why do they have so many sharp teeth anyway?

How do the fish know it is windy if they are under the surface? Is it windy down their TOO?

I knew this would be fun, I just knew it man..

Bud I could use a stiff drink after that, you done wore me out to the bone.

Kid, I gotta fish with you, bro!

I gotta see if I can make that list of yours!

How about this one:

"there ain't no $^%& other fish in here, it's just that little one you got trained to bite every %^$& thing I throw at it"

Funniest conversation I ever had with a guide:

GUIDE: Holy $^#, you think you brought enough lures?

ME: Well.. I wasn't sure if it was going to be cloudy so I bought all my bright baits AND my dark baits, and I didn't know what lake we were fishing, so I broght my small baits just in case. Then I figured I may as well just bring everything, because you never know what you might need...

GUIDE: So now you can come out here, clutter up my boat, and not catch any fish all SORTS of ways... and you get to go home with a hernia!

LMAO!!
