Any fisherman superstitious?

[Rockbass6]

I was wondering if any fishermen on here have any funny superstitions? lol Out fishing you will never see me with a banana on board the boat! Or in my creel, Thats the main one.
I also have a "old lucky reel and rod" that has an amazing story that stays in the rod locker that ia never bought out or use to fish any more its retired, it was hooked out fishing I snagged it through the gide with a hook. (the reel off that pole) and an old stiff short rod my grandpa gave me a long long time ago.
Also when I fish in tournaments I have a lucky shirt I always have that I caught a 31 1/2 inch walleye in years back, I don't know how many pictures we have of me fishing in that old shirt! I can't throw it out. lol

Another is while trolling with the line counter I like to let out even numbers like for example, 102 136 154 feet of line on the counter for some unknown reason.

Anyway list your superstition hopefully we can hear some creative ones.

no bananas on boats and keeping the fillet knife hidden until i catch a fish.

If I buy a new rod and there is plastic covering the cork, I leave it on until I catch a nice fish with it.

the best way to get bit is to go to the bathroom. walk away and your guranteed to get a bite. lol

another we have is, if you build a custom rod (wrap it yourself) and you dont catch anything on your first trip, its cursed, so you sacrifice it to the fish gods.
