Pranks you pulled on your fishing partners

Just curious who else likes to have a little fun. A couple years back I pulled one on my buddie. It was the Brew city Salmon tournament. My buddie owns the boat and really hates spiders. We would tease him about it from time to time but this year I decided to have just a little more fun. The routine is he always sets up all the rods and down riggers before we head out of the harbor . Well this day I brought an old rubber spider that was about 3 inches long. I laid the spider on the down rigger in the most natural looking way that I could. This is happening in very low light condition (4:30am). Well when my buddie went to set this rigger he about sh#$% his pants and did a dance, we all were just dying of laughter. One of the guys I thought was going to fall off the pier from laughing so hard. What you need to picture is a grown man about 6’2″ and 240 frightened of a spider. He did pay me back, but it was worth it. Part of the reason I lke to go fishing, good friends, good times and good memories.

leave them at the gas station when they run in to get something?

Thats a good one fin hunter, the beer can on a tip up is always a classic for me!!

when power bait came out, I got a bag full of soft jerk baits.. well they smelled like dog crap… so I put one or two in my buddy’s soft tackle bag , that he was totally in love with.. and in the morning, he is digging in there and says.. gees.. why does this stink?

but that’s not as bad as that his other friend from Alabama put a large apendage of human anatomy in his bag, and he didn’t know it, so he is putting his bag in the house and this “thing” falls out on the floor in front of his wife..

Who is ultra ULTRA Southern Babtist straight.. it lead to a unique discussion of what transpires in a bass boat..

for me.. one of the guys who were on my lure company’s team, sent me a letter.. to my post office box.. I always get that mail.. and on it , it says confidential and all this stuff. Well that one time my wife goes in to get the mail..

and since the letter is all personal to ME.. she, of course, opens it before even getting to the truck. Inside was photo of a woman, who my team member said we needed to add to the team. Lets just say that the pose of the photo said it all, and there was little to say after word..

of course the Fred Astire tap dancing that I did in that truck on the way home should have gotten me an Oscar or something..

thanks RICK for the photo.. TO THIS DAY..

If they hate snakes, put a rubber one in their livewell. They’ll jump right out of the boat with fish in hand. Been there, seen it, Laughed till I thought I would puke.

If a guy pulled that on me, I would probably throw him overboard.

I am deathly afraid of snakes. Even garter snakes.

I know, I am a wuss.

Couple years ago we were drinking one night in Canada pretty good and one guy went to bed pretty early. We went down to the boat and got his spinning rod and brought it back into the cabin, stripped off all the line, turned the anti-reverse off, and reeled the whole spool on backwards, then turning the anti back on. Well the next day all 3 boats knew what was going on. I should also mention that there is alot of betting on our Canada trip, first fish is s dollar from everyone. Well the poor unfortunate fellow baited up and threw out, the boat went about 20 feet and he had a bite. He set the hook and started reeling, well the line actually went out because it was on backwards. Everyone on the boats let out a hoot and he knew he was had.

He did end up having the last laugh though. He let all the line back out, reeled it on the right way, and the fish was still on his line winning him the first fish bet.

It was classic

Every bass opener, me and a few buddy’s have a little bass fishing tourney. Never fails, someone always pulls a prank. So, the night before opener, I snuck into my buddy’s boat and loosened all of his baitcasters, so when he made that first cast at 6 am, he’d get a HUGE backlash. Needless to say, he wasn’t very happy….
So, the next year, he took and smeered StinkBait all over my ropes that had the boat tied to the dock.
Yah, my hands smelled like S&*t all day
Hmmmm, what shall I do this year for a little pay back.

Nice on FinHunter. Was it like this spider? I got my paws on this guy today. I’m going to take fishing line, tie it to the inside door knob of my boss’ door and run it underneeth then close his door. when he opens it, the spider is going to shoot across the floor.. Gonna be good!

I enjoy practical jokes played on other people and frequently on myself.

I do have a couple rules.

1. No one gets physically hurt.

2. I don’t play on peoples phobias.

3. No property damage, unless it’s my own and part to the gag.

Everything else is fair game.

I had one a few years back with a uncle and has a nice new 100+ fenwick that unfortuantely about a week before the trip got snapped by the kids playing, and well I decided to finish it off, saw it perfectly to match and glued it back together and tied on a floating rap for our evening troll. well we get up there and on the second night of opener we decide to long troll and he says” this is your new pole, and has not even been used. mind if I break it in?” and of course this is after a few during the day, and I said go ahead. first cast he snaps his wrist and snap there goes the pole in 1/2, the other guy in the boat had no clue. and I was fishing in the back of the boat and did not see the snap, but heard the comotion, I never turned around knowing what happand of course. well I guess the look was priceless and the uncle was and trying to figure out what to due before I knew. I let him stew on it until the next morning then showed him.

I found out I can definately run faster scared then he can mad.

Thats a good one BK.

I once had a catfish guy pull up to the dock after I parked the truck and just as I was stepping off the dock,He put the boat in reverse! We were going catfishing that night and the joke was on him…….I pulled a 27″,28″and a 29″ walleye out of his cat spot!

No one would ever believe that story Chappy.

X2
\ive got a good snake storry, but this was no joke but i still laughed tell i couldnt laugh anymore. we were fish a small lake near ottertail and we were drifting in the middle of the lake catching blue gills crappie and soem eyes. my bonus mom reached over the side of the boat to get a minnow out of the minnow bucket and grabbed ahold of a garder snake that had stopped on its swim across the lake to rest on the bucket she damn near fell over the opposite side of the boat lost a pole and screamed so load every person on the lake could here her!

My buddy bought a co-pilot after I told him I liked mine. You can quickly learn the code if you know how and you can take control of the boat. I had fun with that one for a whole day once. Another fun one is in tip up pagers. We got my friends neighbors really good one time. They were having mystery flags all night and never got wise to us.

Ya big baby.

That’s me.

I posted that I was going to guide for walleyes.

WHAT AN APRIL FOOLS JOKE!!

I could say I knew it but you would never have believed me.

HaHa.

Not with that avatar.

Yes similar in size. Just had longer legs. That should be pretty funny. Hope your boss has a sanse of humor.

Installed a trim/tilt switch in the front of the boat. After being out on the water awhile I asked my fishing partner to raise the motor a bit using the switch on the side of the motor. Meanwhile I had my hand on the switch I put in and continued to raise the motor after telling my partner that it was high enough. Whilst it was still raising I again said that it was high enough and proceeded to give him he!! for not listening. It was a good

My buddy his dad and I were bobber fishing for trout in a pond one time, my buddy went to the truck and while he wasnt looking I grabbed his pole and pulled his bobber under some algae…then cast my identical bobber where his sat. He returned…unknowing…I was holding my pole to the far side away from him and would twitch the line with my finger, “his” bobber would move and just when he would pick up his pole, I’d quit just till he’d lay it back down….this went on for a couple minuites until his dad and I couldn’t hold back the laughter any longer !!!

That’s good!

A few years ago in a tournament we were on some nice fish corking. Chad (my tourney partner) nets a real nice fish for me and just plops the net down and throws his bobber right where I was fishing. This is of course what you’re supposed to do. He was intent on his bobber so I unhooked the fish and put in on the Judge ruler. I slid the fish back about an inch (fish was a toad 27″) so it wasn’t bumping and sort of covered the head up with my hand. Then yelled to Chad “it’s an over”. He of courses looks down and sees the pinched tail at 28 1/4″ and starts jumping for joy……Then I slid the fish all the way up. It was mean and cruel and he didn’t talk to me for the rest of the day…..But man did I get a laugh from it.

Loosen their drag all the way, zip tie their leader to their rod, take 1 or all the hooks off their favorite bait,zip tie their rod to something in the boat, pull aout about 30′ of line and cut it and carefully spool it back on ( best done when using a floating bait), respool the line on their reels backwards….

I am afraid my fishing partners are reading these and getting ideas how to screw with me. ….Woody and Brian S……DON’T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT!!!!!
