What retribution should I invoke

Go out and get some cow pasture greens. Put it under his door handle. Look innocent when he asks.

He buys breakfast pays launch fee and pays for bait, and a few weeks ago he gave me a new set of frog togs. he's my brother and I going to keep him,but I will fuss about rotten crappie for a while. Good idea on cow greens I might try that.

He's family so take it easy on him! I suggest that you go behind him and double check the live well is empty next time before you store the boat.

I do clean boat most of the time but don't you think I should be able to give him a hard time on the second go round.

If .... "he eats the fish" ...... maybe you should prepare him a "special" meal, of the ones he forgot to remove from the livewell :eek: :p .... that should cure him of his "forgetfulness", or lax attitude towards being an "equal" partner in these fishing escapades !!
I'm kidding, of course .... but, maybe suggesting that this "might happen", or that it's what you "plan on doing", next time he leaves fish in the livewell .... might make him a little more careful about "thoroughly checking" for any remaining fish :D

...... cp :cool:

He and me or us caught a few eight days ago he took fish out of live well,this morning Iwent out to garage to get ready for my upcoming thursday trip guess what my garage and boat stunk so bad, pulled boat out opened every compartment fumigated then opened live well a big old crappie behind devider. WHAT WOULD YOU DO

I would have stopped right there and made him clean it out. I'd give him a pass on the first time too, but the second......I don't think so. CF

Last summer my stepdaughter was moving and had borrowed her step dads exporer, with all the shuffling and stuff I ended up driving it back to him, where we had a nice cookout and relaxed. The explore only gets used once in a while, so a few weeks later I get a call from her mom (we are buddies) that she is pretty sure there is a dead body in it. Wanted to know whos it was. No a bag of bluefish had fallen out of the cooler during the move. It still smells, after detailing and everyhting they could think of.

If'n it was a brother of mine I'd rag him to no end. It would become a year-round joke as long as he can take it. BUT.....you could bet I'd be checking behind him for awhile! :D

Catch a stray cat, give it some worm medicine, lock it in his car overnight.

...then get his eyes checked. Back boat into his garage after next trip. My brothers have endured my joking & picking for years...Laughter really is the cure, because most people can remember a good joke played on them. If he's catching fish for the fry, you might want to overlook these little shortcomings. God puts people in our lives for a reason: sometimes a blessing; other times a trial. Helluva plan! Maybe he thinks you need a new boat???:D

Ha Joe I'll offer to buy him some glasses cause he's all I got left on my side of family,hope we get to fish togeather for a long time.
