For a lot of reasons the Hawaiian skipper only had 4 hours to fish so we brought lunch including bananas. He had that ridiculous belief too. We caught 5 Wahoo averaging 15# each and a 135# tuna - that took an hour to land or we would have caught more.
Instead of admitting the theory was silly, he said we would have caught more without the bananas. Facts never get in the way of beliefs…

You Guys crack me up.
The banana myth as I understand it comes from the sailing days and banana Bunches often containing tarantulas, which on board at sea was a real problem.
As for Chicken on the boat, that is a fact, if you get fried, or worse raw chicken on your tackle, you will not catch Salmonids . (don't know about warm water fish)
So NO CHICKEN IN MY BOAT. Except for crabbing under strict quinarene and rubber gloves
Bananas are like not washing you baseball socks during a winning steak... superstition
Tight Lines!

Yeah, Don't doubt it.
Pacific Salmon have olfactory senses that allow them to find the same river 5 years after they left, and they hate chicken. I hear Chicken livers are great for catfish, not that I would eat the slimey bullheads we have out here, would love to get into some of those big cats you guys have east of the Rockies

Never heard about the chicken before. Must be different chicken over here. I take chicken quite often. Maybe I'll catch more if I leave it home

I was a into catfishing till I caught bass fever 🤒.
Used alot of liver n caught many many nice channel cats. Not as plentiful as they was.
Lower Potomac river puts out some real big channels.
👍🎣
Good eating.
