Catch quote

A capture phrase is the phrase the player uses upon capturing a fish, bug or deep sea creature in the. It begins with "I caught a [blank]", followed by a comment, often a pun or some other kind of joke relating to the creature's name, rarity, or value. For example, when the player captures a Sea Bass in, the player will say "I caught a sea bass! See? Bass! (Why do I keep saying things like that?) ".

The capture phrase for a particular species changes from game to game, although the same general joke may be used again. There are also capture phrases for trash, as well as various other items.
