What are your favorite catch quotes?

[-Apples-]

When you catch a fish or insect, your player makes a pun. Of all of the puns, what are your favorite ones?

Here’s mine:

• GameCube Version: “I caught an ant! My uncle will be so happy!”
• Wild World: “I caught a hammerhead shark! Got any nails?”
• City Folk: “I caught a walking leaf! Finally, you'll leaf me alone!”
• New Leaf: “I caught a giant cicada! Scratch that--a giant WET cicada.”
• New Horizons: “I caught a darner dragonfly! It better watch its mouth!”

I probably will mainly list NH ones, since they are the most memorable for me. However, a WW catch quote I always found funny and kinda cute is, "Dace in the hole!"

Now, for the NH ones:
Scallop: "I caught a scallop! It otter be savored."
Man-faced Stinkbug: "I caught a man-faced stinkbug! Reminds me of my uncle!"
Walking Stick: "I caught a walking stick! Check out its walking schtick! Look, these are the jokes, OK?" (Dr. Shrunk-ahh line)
Golden Trout: "I got a golden trout! But the real treasure? Friendship."
Stringfish: "I caught a stringfish! Five more and I'll have a guitarfish!"
Frog: "I caught a frog! Or it's a new neighbor... and I have some apologizing to do."
Coelacanth: "I caught a coelacanth! Think positive! Be a coela-CAN!"
Blue Marlin: "I caught a blue marlin! Listen to this fish. It's got a point."

Frog: "I caught a frog! Or it's a new neighbor... and I have some apologizing to do."

This is my favorite!

I caught a dung beetle! This species likes feces!

"I say, I've actually heard it said that their dung-rolling is considered endearing! Absolute rubbish. It is a dirty habit. Dung is dirty. There is no refuting it! Hoo... What a world..."

My favourites are from City Folk:

Migratory locust: "I caught a migratory locust! Migrate into my pocket!"
Goliath beetle: "I caught a goliath beetle! GOOOLIAAAAAATH!!!"
Cat fish: "I caught a cat fish! Who's meowing now?"
Jellyfish: "I caught a jellyfish! Now all I need is a peanut butter fish."
(Not a fish or a bug, but I still find it funny) Can: "I caught a can! This isn't a can.... It's a CAN'T!"

 

[Randy Jade]

Frog: "I caught a frog! Or it's a new neighbor... and I have some apologizing to do."

This one is literally so cute I love it <3

"I caught an anchovy! Stay away from my pizza!"

"I got a sea pineapple! Your move, sea pizzas."

Democracy manifest!!

"I caught a grasshopper! They're a grass act!"

"I caught a red dragonfly! Didn't even have to roll for initiative!"
