Do you believe in Fishing Superstitions?

One I've lived by is nobody cracks a beer until the first fish is in the boat.  It's more of a guideline though, desperate times call for desperate measures! 

It's generally best not to bring an especially large cooler with ice in it because it virtually guarantees that you won't be needing it.

True!

I also throw back the first of each type of fish before I feel I have the right to keep any.

If I walk or paddle by trash without at least trying to clean it up I feel I may get skunked or worse.

Karma more than superstition, I guess.

Dosn't anyone else bite the heads off of their frozen fin baits?

Mooch told me all the "real" NCKA'ers do this, but it hasn't been helping my fishing.
I notice my cat is friendlier towards me though.
 

when i release a sturgeon i kiss it before i drop it back in the water...it keeps the juju going .

I do this to any undersized fish and tell him "now go tell your daddy on me"  .  I do agree with sonny about having a banana for the leg cramps, I just have it before I launch.  When I shore fish and see a butterfly or even a little bird land on my pole, kinda gets my hopes up  it did happen one time landed a nice 32" striped bass after a swallowtail landed on the tip of my rod *shrugs* but I could be either way on this one.
