Pranks

[Glenn]

What's the best prank you have ever pulled on your fishing partner?

[b.Lee]

While tubing at night i grabbed his line and stuck a 1 pound weight on the end of it. He was hollering and screaming, thought it was a giant. He was not happy with me the rest of the night LOL

set my drag real low so it made dinks seem like monsters

[DINK WHISPERER]

On the way back from the lake after a long day of fishing, my buddy always sleeps the whole way home. Well i hate it when he does that so...................i pulled over and hid all his $expensive$ gear in the lockers. When we got to his house, he thought it flew out! Funny thing was he never fell asleep again.................................go figure!

[shimmy]

nothing extreme. But it seems every trip we take, i (or someone else) will purposely hit anothers line while they are not looking and hear them freak out about this monster bite as they continue to set the hook like there was no tomorrow. They then quickly cast back out more intently and i just wait for the moment when they are not looking and quickly hit their line with my rod again. This is usually good for a few laughs every time. The worst thing about it is since everyone in our boat does it, it's never safe and everyone knows that it's not worth the consequences of not pulling and everyone falls victim to it. I just don't think this trick will ever die in our boat.

one day while we were going around in the canoe we were in about 8 feet of water and with out telling my friend I jumped out of the boat and scared the crap out of him. The I ran a crankbait into his line and pulled and he thought he had a monster. I laughed, he was a bit angry.

#1 My partner and myself were in the motel room and he was calling the hogs. I couldn't sleep so I took his line on all his rods and looped it around each eye on the rods.  Man you ought to have heard him the next morning trying to cast. ;D

#2 The same scenario a few weeks later. I knew he would be on to me this time, so when he started calling I pulled off about 30 foot of line an cut it. I then held it with my thumb and reeled it back on. Next morning he checked his reels and we went fishing. At our first stop he picked up a buzz bait and let it rip ;D I have never seen a buzz bait go that far It must have went a 100 yards in the woods ;D

[1inStripes]

That is excellent frogtog.

[backwater4]

Armoralled half the bench seat. Took off and so did he. Right to the floor. ;D He got me back though. Fishing a night tournament, he asks me to take a leaf off the end of his line. I reach for it and its a bat, it starts flappin and sqealin, scared the **** out of me.

I send out April Fools memos to my bass club members.

This year the memo said that PETA was going to put tranquilizers in Buggs Island the day of our tournament and also take photos of the guys relieving themselves off the side of the boat.

I added that the Virginia and North Carolina state police plus the local sheriff departments would be out trying to stop the PETA people.

Guys took it hook, line and sinker. 

One guy was going to bring his shotgun; another was gong to put a big saltwater lure on a rod and attack the PETA people when he saw them; another was going to take his pistol; and one guy was ready to beat up the PETA individuals if they came to our weigh in.

I thought it was a great joke.

The previous year I sent out a memo telling the guys to go to Green Top for a free bottle of "Fart" fish attractant. You can guess at what I had in that memo.

Even their wives thought it was funny especially when I said that "if you "Fart" all day while fishing you will catch more bass."

Working on next year's memo at this time.  ;D   ;D   ;D

i havent pulled many pranks but my dad knew an old blind guy that would fish at night for catfish and he had the bell at the end of his pole and my dad would run under and grab his line and he would set the hook and start cussing because he couldnt hook anything

These are the best two so far... hilarious. #2 is a nice stealth technique that I may at some point have to replicate.

[Nice_Bass]

I did not do this myself, but a friend of mine and got a womens toy put in the bottom of his minnow bucket- he then went to the bait shop and handed the bucket to the clerk and when he went to put the minnows in the discovery was made.

My most memorable prank was not one that I did but was done to me.

Back in my younger days a group of us were camping at Lake Isabella. After a hard night of drinking I woke up early and started to do some fishing and caught a couple nice trout so I put them on a stringer. My girl friend at the time wanted to run into town to pickup some eggs and bacon for breakfast and everyone else agreed so her and I got into the truck and headed into town as my buddies got the fire going.

We got back and started to prepare breakfast and I figured I'd cook the 2 trout that I had caught earlier. I walk down to the water, pull out the stringer and to my surprise all that was left was the heads and complete  skeletons, my buddies were rolling! They had cooked and ate them while we were in town.

I've been known to toss people out my boat 

[SPEEDBEAD.]

I put soap in the rookie's coffee.

We were fishing Lake Erie and had a great late afternoon smallie bite. The smallies shut off , so we decided to troll for walleye. Well, I wasn't paying attention and my buddie got the end of my line and attached a large coffee cup to it. He hollered "fish on", and the rest was history. I can't describe how that rod bounced and what that cup felt like. I was HAD!! ;D

[Bankbeater]

The best one I ever pulled was when I yelled "SNAKE" while we were fishing out of the boat under some low hanging tree branches.

Best one that I ever had pulled on me was when I was fishing out of the front of a jon boat, and the guy running the motor in the back cut a hard ninety degree turn while we were sitting next to a pine tree that was partially flooded. I was covered in needles.

[brushhoggin]

I think I've told this one here before. My buddy was taking a leak off the back of the boat when i got my foot on the trolling motor and backed the boat up on a bush sticking outta the water that had a wasp nest on it.  ;D If there were a speed diving world record he would've  broken it that day ;D It all backfired cause i was the one that got stung a couple times, but at least he had to jump in

Caution may cause heart attack

This one works great. I did this at a halloween party on a cooler where the beer was. Go to the toy store and buy a decent size rubber snake. Tie a strand fishing line around the neck and attach the other end of the line with some duct tape to the under side of the live well lid. When the lid is opened the snake comes popping out. I would hate to see my partner drop a big fish and have it go over board. But I think its worth the risk.

That second one is hilarious.  I have one question though.  What does "calling the hogs" means?

[frogtog]

Calling the hogs in the south= snoring.

[bandsr4me20]

never done it but thought about putting a snake in a guys livewell before.  could give someone a heart attack like the cooler one.
