Let me tell you about fishin'... I'm a fishin fool
I've been to every fishin' seminar… I've even been to fishin' school
So listen close to my advice before ya ever cast a line
Ya gotta get yourself a fishin' boat like mine
 

Well I bought 'er back in April new
Added 35 coats of cobalt blue
Painted my truck and trailer in cobalt too
I pulled out the motor and I hauled it down
To Rusty Huffman's Wound 4 Sound
And I let old Rusty turn a couple screws
 
 

Now she's got 500 horses of pure power
Turns a hundred and eighty-five miles an hour
Sits back on a rooster tail rappin' out at seven grand
She moves out on the water like a phantom jet
And I ain't even tried the nitrous yet
And she don't slow down to a stop, she just kinda lands
 
 

Man if that ain't fishin'… I'm a fishin' fool
I've been to every fishin' seminar… and I've been to fishin' school
Ya gotta get yourself a red-hot rig… that's the first in fishin' rules
So you don't have to catch a thing to come home lookin' cool
 
 

I've got a little fish finder that's outta this world
It'll tell ya if a minnow is a boy or a girl
And my laser-guided trollin' motor keeps me outta the rocks
I've got 30 rod holders and 4 live wells
Underneath the seat you'll find the digital scales
Let me find the password and I'll open up my tackle box
 
 

I've got spinners, twisters, busters, poppers
Rattlin'-shad, whirlers and hoppers
Ringers and zingers and clingers and things that clack
I've got plastic worms and rubber mice
That neon crawdad works real nice
There's jitterbugs, crickets, grubs and broken-backs
 
 

Man if that ain't fishin'… I'm a fishin' fool
I've been to every fishin' seminar… and I've been to fishin' school
Ya gotta get yourself a red-hot rig… that's the first in fishin' rules
So you don't have to catch a thing to come home lookin' cool
 
 

I'm tellin' ya son, she's a mean machine
Just perfect for takin your boss out skiing
Crack that throttle halfway open and start talkin' "raise"
She'll pull tubers, tires… still on the truck
Ya better strap on your safety belt when she's hookin' up
Those G-forces kinda push your nose to the side of your face
 
 

Man if that ain't fishin'… I'm a fishin' fool
I've been to every fishin' seminar… and I've been to fishin' school
Ya gotta get yourself a red-hot rig… that's the first in fishin' rules
So you don't have to catch a thing to come home lookin' cool
