we had a black snake fall into the boat one day when we were pitching this dock. my cousin jump outta his boat, onto the dock, and left me in the boat with the snake. ?

My dad worked for the water company. One night he was called in finish out the shift for the guy that worked 4:PM to midnight. Found out a water snake had crawled in a window that was open. He was so scared of snakes he went in to convulsions and hit the floor. Had to be taken to the hospital. He was found by another another water company employee that came over from another building. That is why I don't play games concerning snakes. Too many people are scared of them and react in many different ways.

I don't see much jig fishing from piers.  It's mostly chucking and ducking with spoons, so the tap wouldn't work.

Pink (cerise) jigs for pink salmon. Strange but true and effective.

that's happened to me before!

I have a buddy that used Fluoroclear.  No one had to actually cut his line, but lures flew off all the time, lol.

Dang from p line? I have tons of it is it really that bad?

[J Francho]

He was using 10# line.  I actually think he had a nick in one of his guides.  He'd break off every 30 casts or so.  I don't trust that line at all.  I love most of their other lines.

That would happen to me also when I used flouro clear on my bait caster. I just use straight braid now. works way better

I posted this in a similar thread last year. We were at a church men's retreat on Lake George in the 80s. It got dark and we posted a teen under the dock and attached him to the end of a line on someones baitcaster. Then we hollered as a friend walked up that we had a huge bass, it was possibly a world record etc. At that point the teen began thrashing and splashing around, and the friend bought it hook, line, and sinker. We handed him the net and purposely kept throwing the light beam around so he couldnt see too good. At just the right moment, with Steve hunched over with the net, the teen ( david ) lunged all the way out of the water with weeds wrapped all around him. At the same time he made a scary , loud noise, kind of like " aaaaarrrrrgggghhhh "

Steve shouted in terror, fell over backwards into a boat on the other side of the dock. The only thing that was hurt was his pride. No doubt the funniest thing Ive seen in 50 + years fishing.

I am puzzled.  How does practical and jokes fit together?

[flbassmaster]

Columbia craw, Have fun. Life is serious enough as it is.

Lol, from Wikipedia:

Quote

A practical joke is "practical" because it consists of someone doing something physical, in contrast to a verbal or written joke. For example, the joker who is setting up and conducting the practical joke might hang a bucket of water above a doorway and rig the bucket using pulleys so when the door opens the bucket dumps the water. The joker would then wait for the victim to walk through the doorway and be drenched by the bucket of water. Objects can also be used in practical jokes, like fake vomit, chewing gum bugs, exploding cigars, stink bombs, costumes and whoopee cushions.

#2 Funniest was one I was in the middle of, but I didnt do it or was the one it was done to.

We were fishing near welaka, on the St Johns, and fishing the cypress . I was in the middle seat, sandwiched between two brothers I had grown up with. The younger was in the back. We had been seeing a lot of cottonmouths on limbs, stumps, and so the younger bro. whispered " watch this ", and he flipped a big worm he had tied to the line on back of the older bros. neck. He was a big outdoorsman, and Id never seen him slightly scared of anything in the woods or water.

Until that day !  " Reaction " does not do it justice. He hollered and flailed his arms wildly and almost fell out of the boat ,until he finally realized what happened. In the meantime, me and younger bro. had nearly fell out of the boat laughing.?

I had to get between them then to keep little bro. from getting thrown off the boat.

I told this story on another thread. When I was a young man there was a older gentleman that took a liking to me and took me under his wing. He would take me to fish team tournaments when his regular partner couldn't make it. He had just gotten a Brand new 21XD bullet. We were out fishing one day and I was throwing a DD22 crankbait. As I was casting it I drew back and went to make a long cast and when I slung it forward I heard what sounded like a gun shot. He looked back at me like "what the hell did you do to my boat". I was bewildered. I couldn't find my crankbait anywhere and couldn't figure out what the sound was. Well I tied another crankbait on and continued to fish. When he was ready to move we sat down and when he cranked the big motor all kinds of crazy noises started coming from the motor. I mean it sounded like a barrel of hammer was in the motor. It still didn't hit me what was going on but when he pulled the cowling off he was ready to kill me. Somehow I had slung the crankbait through the hole of his brand new Alien Cowl and when he fired the motor it destroyed the crankbait. There was bits of green and orange plastic all over the inside of the motor. He was ready to kill me. So I don't know that it was a practical joke but he still gives me **** about it every time I see him and loves to tell the story any time we are at a weigh in and there are a bunch of fishermen around.

Fished an open tournament on the Upper Potomac and while waiting in line for livewell check the guys ahead of me were giggling. Had to ask what was so funny to which they said just watch the livewell check on the boat in front of them. The guy opened up the livewell lid and out jumps a squirrel. Those guys busted out laughing but the other guy was ticked. Apparently it was payback for a joke he pulled on one of them.

Right you are sir.  I guess thats why its $5 for 600 yards.  They are trying to give it away.

Only thing I can think of is a guy, my Dad's friend, who would always wave at other boaters as we motored along, and when I'd turned to look at who he was waving at, most of the time there was nothing there, and he'd just laugh.
