What would Bush say?

Here's a strange set of things that come together more often than you would think: George Bush, Germany and fish. A few months ago, the US president told a German newspaper his best moment in office was catching a 7.5lb perch "in my lake". Then, today, on a visit to German chancellor Angela Merkel's Baltic constituency, he was presented with a barrel of herrings.

But what is Mr Bush saying? Please put your suggestions below. Alas, we have no Baltic herring to hand to offer as a prize.
