Let's hear about the funniest thing you have ever seen, or been a part of while fishing or at the ramp. I know I have seen some crazy things; excited to hear about all yall's. Good luck, and have fun with it!!
At the time this one wasn't too funny.. But now I can laugh I guess. Went duck huntin one afternoon by myself (first mistake), was about 10 degrees and snowin. Well I killed my limit and came back to the boat ramp, got out of boat and thought I pulled it up on bank far enough to keep it there. Well I went to the truck and pulled my waders off and cranked it up and got the heat rolling, backed the truck down the ramp and then I looked over and the boat was about 15 foot off the bank. Put my waders back on and couldn't get to it, it was goin fast. Pulled waders back off. Stripped to the skivvies and went swimming for it. Talkin about a shrivel factor. Luckily my truck has good heat!
While after a good day of fishing I was taking my boat out of the water when I noticed a skinny old geezer walk from the dock to his parked vehicle. What got my attention was he was wearing nothing but a little red speedo. I watched him get into his jeep and back from his parking space. It took him forever to line the trailer up with the dock and ramp. He pulled forward then he would jackknife and start all over again. When he reached the dock area he jackknifed again colliding with the dock several times with his trailer and then his jeep. He did considerable damage to the right rear of his jeep when he struck the dock several times. After several attempts he had the trailer in the water but nowhere staright enough or deep enough to get the boat on it and his jeep was slam against the dock. I then watched him attempt to get into his boat which was tied with too muck slack in the rope. When he stepped on the boat it moved away from the dock causing him to fall between the boat and the dock. Up to that point I was trying to sneak pictures without him seeing me because I felt he was probably embarrased to no end but when fell into the water I ran over and offered to help him up. He told me he had it and no thanks. He got his leg up o the dock and pulled himself up. I left him with it and headed home to clean fish. Here's a couple of pictures I snapped from the cover of my boat. It was a funny site thanks for letting me share it.

I was fishing North Lake one day and had caught quite a few nice crappie back in the gravel pit and it was starting to get late so I decided to take it on in!Finally got through all the stumps and back to the ramp only to find a father and son in a full battle. The father wanted the son to get the car, Which was a station wagon, and back it in while he waited in the lake to drive it up on the trailer!Well the son must not have backed up much cause it took him at least 20 try's before he finally hit water. By then the dad was madder than a wet hen!There was about 10 other boats waitin to use that skinny old ramp. He started hollerin at his son and made the kid real nervous. Finally the dad was able to pull the boat up on the trailer and latch the strap down but was still cussing!Finally he sat back down and told his son to go ahead.Only problem was the whole time the car was still in reverse and the son had a death grip on the brake. well he stomped the gas pedal and he put the boat and the car in the lake!Dad was swimming and so was the son!Well after a couple hours they pulled the whole thing out with a tractor and some cables and everyone was able to get their boats out. You had to see it to believe it!I thought I was gonna bust a gut. It could have won, "Funniest Home Videos"!:yikes
ES ought to have this one in the bag LOL
Sure do miss that place caught some monster crappie in there.(north lake).
a friend from jackson came up to fish with me at turkey creek on grenada .we limited out the first day and put the remains in the boat till the next morning to throw away on the way back for second round at turkey creek . having gone in on the field road and putting in directly into the creek ,many were already there .the creek was pretty narrow and we noticed a game warden on the bank asking for license . about the same time my buddy realized the fish remains were still in the boat from the day before. we were not sure what he would say since cleaning fish in the boat was not legal and throwing them out would be illegal dumping . so we eased down a little ways trying to not look like we were running away !He eased thm one by one into the water while turning his back to the warden . after getting the fish remains out , we eased on down the creek thinking no fish would be there after all the comotion of dumping fish . About five min . later this old couple moved to our dump site and we got tickled and laughed about their picking that spot and how funny it would be if they pulled up a skeleton of a fish . trying not to giggle and them think that we were laughing at their rig or there fishing ability we waited to see what would happen . we were expecting catfish at best . they started catching two lb. crappie , one after another !(our giggles increased on every catch) it was hilarious to wait for them to limit out and for us to finish our limit on the same spot . So don't tell us chumming for crappie can not be done! Have never laughed that much since .
I had wrote about this in a earlier thread but it does apply. Thread makes me think of 2 years ago, my brother-in-law & I went down in the New Johnsonville Tenn area fishing Ky. lake. (Thats where he is from) We were out in a area called Duck River game reserve (A big swamp full of cottonmouths & black crappie) fishing standing Cypress trees because the big water was too rough that day. We saw this young man and woman out in a johnboat all afternoon back in these thick trees & really didn't think much about it even though we never saw a fishing rod. When we went to take our boat out, we saw these 2 other women at the ramp pacing the bank and cussing low down. And we had heard this for some time, but didn't know what it was till we got closer. They were literally screaming at those two in the Johnboat. We didn't know what the heck was going on :popcorn but were caught right in the middle of it all. Us there trailoring our boat, the 2 lover/cheaters in the johnboat and the 2 screamers. Turns out it was the wife & the man's mother on the bank & him out in the johnboat with his lover. He finally came ashore and was trying to calm them down & the wife was trying to whip :bash the girlfriend. We just tried to get the boat on the trailer as fast as possible, keeping our heads down & get the heck out of there, We laughed our a$$ off after we were on our way. :Rofl But it was really sad for the wife/mother. And you never know with so much raw emotion when a gun could come out. Don't want to ever see/hear another boat ramp love affair. :yikes
My son and I were launching at Engineer's point one day. I pulled back to the ramp and he got into the boat when another party were backing down the ramp. We almost got to the No Wake barrels when "Oh heck" broke out behind us and it just wouldn't stop. The guy had left the winch strap connected to the boat and had drug it about half way up the ramp. We both said Oh dang and went fishing. 5 hours later he was still sitting on the ramp with 2 tractors trying to pick it up. The boat was to heavy for the way they were trying. 1 on the front and the other on the rear. I walked up to the boat, laid down to see the bottom. 2 good holes were showing. I told the driver on the rear to move to the front. Can't really do anymore damage. They both picked the front of the boat up high enough for the trailer to be backed under it about half way. Strapped the front of the boat to the trailer and they finished loading it in the parking lot.
So my buddy and I are fishing up north and drifting across the lake in my old shallow V mirrocraft. Pretty tippy affair at best. Now we've fished out that boat before so I don't think I need to remind him to give me a "heads up" if he's gonna answer the call. Well I'm at the back working on tying up a rig and not really paying much attention. The waves have been bobbing the boat across the lake all morning, so I don't think much when the boat starts listing a bit...then a bit more, until I realize that we're dumb near vertical! I lunge for the top gunwhale, and lean with all I got. As I'm doing this I look over my shoulder and there's my partner white knuckling the opposite gunwhale, his knees on the same, his stuff hanging out, and his head completely underwater right where he just relieved himself. When I finally overcame the momentum and the boat righted itself, his head pops out of the water and he sucks in air like it was the last breath he'd ever take. By then I was laughing so hard I relieved myself accidently. True story, just ask him.
One chilly December day we were fishing in a tidal river at Charleston SC for Redfish when we saw a bad thunderstorm headed our way. There were 10 of us in 5 boats, mostly small jonboats. We tried, unsuccessfully, to beat the storm back to the ramp.
One of the boats was running beside us and the guy sitting up front started stripping down to his drawers and stuffing his clothes into a dry storage box in the boat. The guy running the tiller motor was getting drenched as were the rest of us because the storm beat us to the ramp. Well the guy driving the boat went to get his car and trailer while his skivy clad buddy waited in the boat.
By the time we all had our boats on the trailers everyone was soaked to the skin and shivering.
It was then that Mr Skivies collected his dry clothes and headed to their car to put on the dry, warm clothes. His buddy came over to me and said "watch this". When Skivies jumped in the car he let out a yell and jumped back out and started waving his fist and hollering at his buddy.
Remeber the old hard vinyl seat covers they use to put on cars? Seems as when the guy that backed the car down to the ramp and pulled it out he turned the AC on full blast and left the car runnning the whole time we were getting the rest of the boats out. When Mr. Skivies wet, almost bare rear end hit the cold vinyl seats it was quite a shock and out he came hollering and cussing. Keep in mind it was December and the air temp was in the 50s and we figure the car temp was slightly above frostbite.
The rest of us just laughed at him since we were all wet and he was the only one with dry clothes.

One spring day my wife and I decided to go to Lake Conway to go fishing . I was trying to teach her how to help get the boat in the water. After a crash course on starting the motor I slowly backed her down to the ramp . The boats slid off The bunks with ease. I looked back and she was standing up pull starting my old 9.9 johnson motor so I pulled the truck and trailer up the ramp. As I was rolling my windows up on my truck i hear all of a sudden screaming blob blob blob JW blob JW help. I looked in the rearview mere and noticed my wife bobbing up-and-down in the frigid water and my boat taking off across the lake. I pulled the truck into a parking slot and went to assess the damage. The wifey was waiting on me at the ramp drenched from head to toe. I asked her if the she was gonna swim to my boat. If looks could kill lmao that day I wouldnt be here. Luckily the boat motor was in choke and headed toward the long pier. I was able to recover the boat without getting wet. Needless to say she won't run an outboard anymore. I think I could've won AMV that day.
One afternoon I went to check out the river and see if there was much action on it. When i got to the ramp I saw a gu backing his little s-10 down to the ramp. I proceeded to get my boat ready when hear some yelling from ramp. I look over and see the guy in the s-10 sitting in his truck half submerged in the water with the headlights beaming up in the air. He inadvertently put the truck in reverse and not drive lol. I unhooked my boat and pulled the guy out from the ramp. The kicker was that it wasn't his truck but other guy who was pulling the boat on the trailor.
I was fishing with a friend and his dad at Tunica back when I was a teen.We were over on the River side and had caught a few bream and crappie. My friend was on the nose of the boat with a paddle, his dad in the middle, and I was on the back!All of a sudden my friend decided he had to relieve himself. The boy loves to fish but has a shorenuff fear of water and being in water. We were on the outside edge of some dead trees so my friend took a good looksee to make sure no one was around, he undid the top button and unzipped his pants and was trying to be careful not to wet himself. This old 14 ft johnboat had a fair size front seat so he was standing on it holding onto a good size old willow tree. Bout the time he started to go, he realized that he was pushing himself away from the tree and that he was going to fall in the lake. Being so deathly afraid of the water he took a desperation leap for the departing tree. While in flight , his pants decided to fall down to his ankles. When he hit that tree he had a deathgrip on it and had skint up his upper body cause he had his shirt off while we was fishing. Well there he was hanging there in his tidy whities when all of a sudden a ski boat appeared full of young women and men. They saw him hanging in that tree and started hollerin and blowing their horn and laughing. To make his situation worse, his dad had taken his canepole and was goosing him in the butt with it telling him to hurry up and get back in the boat! We finally got the boat back up to him and got him down out of that tree and the front of him was skint all to heck!If I had a camera, I would still to this day be makin him pay!!!:Rofl Remembered this after I had posted the other one so take your pick!
well ya'll doing great . I got short one . MY father , mother and I were tightlining from the bank for catfish . One of our favorite pass times for most of my life . My father never wore shoes , wore overhauls and no shirt . the guy at Pelahatchie Bay trading post will vouch for that , anyway we were at the Landing at Pelahatchie bay one evening and I caught a turtle you know one of those ole coots or stink jims . Well my daddy took him and slung him up across the parking lot. well around midnight we decided to take up and go home . we had everything loaded lights out . now it is pitch black dark . for some reason my daddy had walked over and picked this turtle up . being dark and all you couldn't tell which end was the biting end . My daddy is standing there with this i just got shot look in his eyes . He said just as calm as you can imagine he bite me , well i'm think what bite him I didn't know he had pick this turtle up . This turtle had bite him through his overhauls in the front . He what pull him out and the turtle would pull back in . all the while still hanging on to my daddy . Finally daddy manged to pull him loose , left a big ole bruise on his belly . My momma and i laughed so hard we cried and whole time he was threatening if we didn't stop he kill us . There was a lot time he threatened to kill us boys for doing something or not doing something . I do have a lot of good memories .lol
My brother-in-law and I decided to take our sons fishing one afternoon this past spring, so I rushed home from work to meet them at the ramp. I jumped in the boat and we were off, we positioned the boat for side pulling and started putting out lines. I hadn't been on the water 10 minutes when we heard a splash. My 11 year old nephew went head first over the side, and his dad was on his feet and had him by the waist in seconds. So my brother-in-law is holding his son, who only spent a few seconds in the water, by the collar of his shirt and the waist of his pants when all at once "POOF!" His brand new inflatable life jacket (that he was wearing for the first time) discharged as he hung there in mid air. He looked like a little balloon from the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. I grabbed my phone and snapped a pic, which I immediately texted to his mom (my sister), who had expressed concern about the effectiveness of the inflatable vest, with the message "new vest works great!" A few seconds later my B-I-L's phone starts ringing and he just looks at me and says "damn you." Needless to say the trip was over in about 15 minutes. My son and I sat around giggling all night over it, and all 4 of us still laugh whenever someone brings it up.
Some good ones here.....glad I do not have to chose the best one
