Thread: Slang Guide

So I'm familiar with some of the slang terms used around here, but definitely not all of them. I did a quick search, but no one has ever made a slang guide! So what do you say? What are your favorite slang terms? You can even break it down into groups like fish names, jigs, rods, reels, areas, etc. Go!

When a fish takes a good run -smokin line -
When you know it's a good fish -I'm on -

Skyed- After strike, fish jumped out of the water
Choked- Set the hook too soon and missed the fish
Silver cricket- Weighted treble hook for snagging
Vapor trail- Trail a king leaves in the water after fast strike
Convict- Sheepshead
skinny water- Shallow
and
Josh's favorite-Jack 'em up. Reel him in...

There's a lot more, but I'll leave that to others.

Nice! Keep 'em coming!

Big Ugly ---Black Drum
Spaniard---Spanish
Flatie ----Flounder

Based on what fshntime said about "vapor trail", my bet would be on a really fast king.

brown clown, brown turd, ling, crab cruncher, probably a 1000 more- cobia
smack - spanish mack
gray suit, tax man, land lord- shark

HOLY $H@! !!- stepping on an electric skate while surf fishing barefoot.

Blue Runner AKA "Hard Tail"
