Strange but true thread: outrageous behaviors/ statements made by surf fishermen

[DarkSkies]

OGB told me he might be learning photoshop soon as a way to deal with his dismay over some of the things happening out there in the fishing world.

I thought these might be enough to get ya started Fin, let me know if ya need more.

This report just came in anonymously I was asked to post it up....


" I had 28 fish to 38" today, no, make that 46", and I kept one of the smaller ones at 38"! I put it on the top of my truck and used a bungee cord so people could see it. It fell off the truck when I stopped short. I measured it again and realized the first measurement was wrong, as the 2nd time it measured 42". That's the one I kept for dinner, and I just want to make sure people know that my reports are always accurate, in case anyone is doubting this."










Now if you're looking for more accurate reports that reflect what's really happening out there, here's one someone sent me from yesterday, from an honest angler:

[one 20" in the sfz this am. I also saw another at 15".]

Ha ha funny stuff Dark keep em coming! I call it the corvette syndrome, a guy doesn't have a lot going on for him so he buys a corvette, and it makes him think he is better thaun he is, or maybe that's the only thing in life that he can do. You never know what the guy's life is like at home, maybe he has a nagging wife, or no wife. It takes all kinds to make this world we live in.

Rip was coming home from fishing this morning and told me this story. It had people with different nationalities in it. Those are the kinds of people we fish with all the time.

It was so funny that I asked him to re-tell it here...

without mentioning the nationalities of the people. We fish with a melting pot of people so I didn't want to single out any one group. We all have a good time joking with and laughing at each other, so I hope anyone reading this understands that. If not, you should come fish with us one day and we'll make fun of you too.





I asked him to post his story below......

OK. I get down to my spot this morning to see one guy by himself. I say to him "good morning, any room for me?" The guy just mumbled. SO I just stay to myself fishing close to him but not up his arse.

Now two other gentlemen walk to about 40' from me and start gettin ready to fish. They end up leaving their crap all over the place and leave to go fish off to my right.

Now like I said there is this guy and we will call him Ivan Drago. this is the guy from the beginning of the story. I am off to the left and maybe ten feet away but, we have room.

Now another guy comes up and we will call him Jackie Chan. I have to use the names for a purpose -- please start to get into this story.

Jackie walks right by me an starts to set up right next to Ivan who now looks at me as if to say "what is this guy nuts?"

OK now it gets good. Jackie standing right next to Ivan rears back ready to cast and Ivan moves out of the way.
"Good move", I say to him, and now he smirks.

Jackie is rearin back as he gets ready to cast his 11' rod with a mighty heave! Not looking, his rig wraps around something and I am saying to myself " THIS ISN'T GOING TO BE GOOD!"

As he makes his cast he rips his rig into this thing, the line snaps, the sinker flies off into Ivan's rod, clam is everywhere!

Jackie looks at Ivan as his rod is on the ground and says "soddi!"
Ivan lets loose with " what the eff are you doing?!!!"
"are you some kind ov an ahole? ( with the whole IVAN DRAGO ACCENT)

I was pissing my pants. Now, Ivan is my boy and tells me what an ahole this guy is.

After all this I do not realize there is another guy walking up behind me and getting ready to fish. To my utter amazement he puts on a CROCODILE with a piece of clam attached and starts to heave this right by my ear!

I do not need ear jewelry this big people.
So I decide to leave and make my way outta there unscathed. That's my unbelievable story.
strange but true.

The story doesn't do it justice. If you were there you might have pissed yourself.

[gjb1969]

as it warms up it will only get better with all the weekend fisherman who have no clue

[DarkSkies]

This would of made a great video.

Now THIS is the fishing drama that people might pay to see.

The story doesn't do it justice. If you were there you might have pissed yourself.

I'm still laughing about it 12 hours later, Rip.
I told a few people on the beach the story tonight, and they thought it was hilarious.
