Default Fishing superstitions

Hey all,

I know this topic is a little bit of the main topics on this board but hey why not go ahead and share some.

We all know that as fishermen we are a superstitious bunch so what superstitions if any you all have.

Ill start it off.

I don't know why but the superstition that I have is to never let the first fish caught go before catching the next one no matter how small it is. I know its weird and if fish is small it does put a little more stress on fish than needed but I just cant do it. Everytime I let the first one go end up not catching anything for the rest of my time fishing. Period. Not a single more fish and it been tested many times and always ended up true for me.

Please note that if fish is small it is kept healthy and alive until the next one is caught and so far I have not lost a single one.

Feel free to share yours

Andre

This might sound crazy but my buddy and I listened to Eminem on the way to a fishing trip that turned out to be one of the worst fishing days of our lives... Since then no more Mr. Mathers on angling days

Lol,

Keep them coming.

Second one I have if a fish snaps my line or spits the hook or anything else that cause me to loose it, I pack up my stuff and change location. Never been able to land fish at the same location after that happens. Its like fish tells his buddies to watch out and afterward they are gone.

I have to have my lucky pocketknife with me whenever I'm out on the water.

Believe it or not, I make it a habit of bringing bannanas, Tom loves them and we have had some of our best day with bananas on the boat.

That's a pretty absolute fact.
Ask FLATCREEK, haha
