Je lis un livre sur la pêche en français, entitulé "Le Petit larousse de la Pêche en eau douce".  C'est très interessant.  Mais, il y a un phrase que je ne comprends pas.  Quand le pêcheur attrappe un poisson, l'auteur remarque "et de une!"  Que veut dire "et de une!".  Comment dit-on ça en anglais?

Hi,

In this context, "Et de une !" is an equivalent of "I just got one fish, this is the first fish I got". If you catch another fish, you will say "Et de deux !", then "Et de trois !", etc. The idea is : you are fishing, and you're happy when you got a fish, so you count them.

That makes total sense now that you explain it.  Thanks!
