Title: Best fishing buddy pranks!
Post by: MONSTERQUEST on Mar 28, 2010, 12:48 PM
Were out lake trout fishing after one fine shore lunch,it was very warm and calm so we were just soaking some sucker belly on jigs floating around in deep water. Well soon enough my partner is sawing some serious logs. Low and behold under my feet is a spare anchor i keep in my boat and I figure when opportunity knocks open the door,I got a hold of his line and pulled it into the boat and hooked er up,he had about 20 feet of line out and we were in about 110 feet of water.I slipped his re-baited jig in and let her go.I was truly amazed at my friends reaction time in grabbing his rod out of its holder from a dead sleep.Oh what a power run this trout did,headed strait for the bottum and wedged itself into a rock crevice,snap goes the line and the trophy is gone.He looked over at me and says I don't think its to funny, (I was LMAO) I'll  bet that trout was 50 pounds,I told him I've seen twelve pounders do that,he still tells the story of the giant trout of second cranberry lake.Was well worth the spare anchor.

I like to get ahold of of someone else's setup before we go out and take off about 20ft of line and cut it.  Then wrap it all back up again.  First cast...bye bye spinnerbait!  I've been doing it for over 10 years.  I rotate it between the 10 guys that go on our annual fishing trip.  They still don't know who is to blame.  Had to do it to mayself once to throw everyone off.  I made sure I had a cheap jig on first.....

It started out as a prank and then ended up really bad. 2 friends of mine and I went out catfishing. Every time one of them would go into the woods to go take a leak we would throw stuff at them. Always scared the crap out of them. One of them decided to go take a number 2. This time we didn't throw anything but he thought we were. All of a sudden we hear him scream and curse as hes running with his pants down. He encountered a skunk fell down in his crap got sprayed and ended up with poisen ivy in places that a man would never want it. He hasn't been back to fish with us ever since. Never laughed so hard in my life.

Have a friend who is a gadget man. Go Go Gadget fishing equipment.
He bought these line sensors for bank fishing. So a couple weeks in he had used them for browns and rainbows, have to say worked pretty well. As long as my brother wasn't shooting at stuff with his pistol. You could hear the beep pretty well. So he thought man they would work real well for bullhead. So the afternoon we were going I stuck a spool of black thread in my tackle box. We got set up, he went to find some firewood and yes I tied up a thread to each pole. He was walking back with an armload of wood, little twitch and BEEEEPPPP! He throws the wood runs to the pole and sets the hook. Reels like mad and HMMMM nothin.
So out it goes. He goes after more wood and I started the fire. Hes coming back ....Twitch...BEEEPPP!
Wood flying run and set the hook!! Reel like mad and Dang it nothin again. After this one he is mumbling to himself, God darn things, spent 50 bucks on these pieces of crap, must be a short or somethin. I've got to go take a leak before I lose it. All set up again and there I get a bite and land a bullhead. OK there in here we go. Fifteen minutes later I look over and he has his chair leaned back and eyes closed...TWITCH both poles... Man what a screech!! No not the alarms, He flung himself forward and you guessed it splash!!Face first in the lake.
I was laughing for three days... Funny those alarms disappeared somewhere never to be seen again. Sometimes your just better off going minimal. More gadgets mean more things for people to screw with.

we went ice fishing and my buddy was on the phone for like 20 mins with his girlfriend so we went up to a trap while he wasnt looking flipped up the flag and tied the laddle to the line. we walked away waited a min and yelled flagg!! he turned and ran to the trap and started pullin it up. he was freaking out then got upset when the thing fighting so hard was a laddel. it works well because when u pull it up it starts spinning like a fish is fighting.

When ice fishing, I usually get a few guys a season by waiting for them to move away from their rod(s) and taking the biggest fish caught for the day (perch, crappie, walleye, northern, etc..) and hooking it to their line and once I see them heading back to their set-up, I grab the rod and haul "the big one" up right as they're getting back. The look on their face is priceless .. it usually only works on the newbie to the group though .. but it's funny when it goes right !

Picture this, We are out at the mouth of the Saco River about a mile off shore. We've caught about 5 blue fish feeding on the macs. My buddy decides the "pee can" isn't good enough for him to use so he decides to pee off the front of the boat like in the movie Titantic. As he is about half way done I get a nice hit from a blue fish, jumped up to catch the rod and heard your stupid bass-tard and a big splash. Sure enough over board he goes and is complaining that i made a sudden movement. I never laughed so hard in my life. I pretty sure I saw the first man walk on water.

One night striper fishing the Derby on the Vineyard the crew had returned from a hard night of fishing, and my buddy decides he hasn't had enough, so at 3:30 am he heads back out to try again.   Not to be outdone, shortly after I suited up and went out to join him.  He had waded out around a far point, and soon I caught up to him and started fishing nearby.  Realize that we were a far hike away, and things get creepy wading around the ocean at night with a flyrod in your hand.  It was pitch black, and we could barely see each other.  When he finally realized he wasn't alone he gave me a polite wave, not realizing who I was.  I waded a little closer and started fishing right next to him, and mumbling jibberish.  He attempted to carry on a polite converstaion, but each question was met with more jibberish and hysterical laughter.  He reeled in and started to back up the beach to get away from the crazy person fishing next to him.  I started laughing and gave myself away. Ten years later, once in while durng a lull in the action we still break into jibberish and then start laughing all over.

I took a couple outdoor buddies on an overnight fishing trip once. As it started to get dark the weather picked-up and it started to rain a bit, my friends seemed concerned that we would not be able to make a fire to cook with. I told them not to worry "cause I brought Blueberry Pop-Tarts." They were like "huh?" I said "c'mon, you guys call yourselves outdoorsmen and you don't know the Bluberry Pop-Tart trick???" Well they were skeptical, but when we returned to our campsite I stacked some slightly moist kindling and threw an empty Pop-Tart box in the middle. I warned them that it had to be the Blueberry kind because it was the blue dye in the box that was so flamable. Little did they know that I had just put half a fire starter stick in the box right after I emptied it in front of them. Well, to this day those guys still think that that is an awesome way to start a fire in any conditions...just an empty blueberry pop-tart box.  I laugh everytime I picture one of them telling another outdoorsmnan! ;)

This isnt really a fishing prank, but we were on our way to the lake so I guess it counts.  My buddy is snoozing in the passenger seat.  We are on a 2 lane highway and a few cars in front of us is a wrecker towing a semi.  The cars in front of us finally are gone and I get right on the wrecker.  The wrecker is pulling a Peterbuilt backwards so right out my windshield is the grill.  I hit the brakes and scream and when he opened his eyes the first thing he saw was a grill of a semi.  He said he really thought we were gonners.

I like to slip spikes in peoples shots now it is tradition on the sandy pond ice fishing trip for us all to do a shot with one in it.
It's usually scotch and we call them Irish tequila shots or Mexican scotch I cant remember ;).

There was a river bar here in Iowa that use to specialize in the 'minnow shot'. The had to stop it because they were charging for it and the health inspector didn't appreciate them going over to the bait side of the bar and get the shot.

not really a prank but a few good stories. When I was like 12, I was on vacation with my family down at the shore in Maryland. My dad, uncle, and myself went out deep sea fishing on one of those party boats. They had a little pool contest where you could put like 5 bucks in, and have your largest fish weighed, and the person who caught the largest fish would win all the money in the pool. Well, a few hours later, my dad pulled up a giant flounder, and we kept it... Back on shore, we were about the 2nd to last ones to get our fish weighed. They weighed the flounder, and the guy said it was the heaviest fish they weighed all day. Well, just then some idiot guy walks up, and pulls a huge sea bass out of his cooler. He weighed it, but it was about a pound and a half lighter than our flounder. Frustrated, he had the guy with the scale weigh it about 10 different ways, with the same results.. I finally said, in front of the crowd that had formed, "you lost, ok?? get it through your head!!" The look on this moron's face from being completely owned by some 12 year old young punk was priceless

Oh, and two years back, was fishing a tourney on the susky.. had encountered two out of town loudmouth idiots from up north somewhere, who claimed they knew more about the river than anyone, and they were going to absolutely own this tournament. After a decent morning of fishing, I encountered them near a large submerged weedbed, and asked how they were doing. They started to whine, claiming we idiots from PA must be keeping too many fish and polluting the water, since they hadn't had a bite in 2 hours. They started to fish their way away from the weedbed. On a whim, I threw my rubber worm into the weedbed. Sure enough, in about 10 minutes, I pulled up 2 or 3 smallmouth over 2 pounds. The looks of disbelief on their face were awesome.

Good ice fishing prank... When a guy goes to check on his tip ups pull up his line hook up a large d***o from an adult store... Then set his line on the bottom when he goes to jig again he will think he's got a fish and pull it up hilarious every time.
