Ice is almost here! ] and it is time to start our mischievous thinking. What is the best prank you have pulled on the ice or had pulled on you?
I have faught several beer cans all the way to the ice and made several friends fight them too ...
One time a kid 20 feet away was not paying attention to his pole and a fish was on,with nobody reeling the fish in it swam overand wraped my line. I pulled the fish in then held the kids lure,gave it a really good jerk so he would notice it and then faught him for like 10 minutes.Oh the excitement him and his dad were having!!! It's a big one!! then I just dropped the lure.. to hear AHHHH it got away.
I'm Rude huh, I still get a big on my face when I think of that day and it was over 10 yrs ago.

[ ]I was fishing Daniels Resevoir a few years back. I was with my brother and several friends. Apparently my brother and my buddy decided to pull one on me. It was pretty windy so it was difficult to hear very well. Suddenly my brother jumped up with his video camera and started to film me sitting in my lawn chair. It was slow so I was narrating on how the fishing sucked. My rod was in a rod rest on my right side. Suddenly, the rod tip twitched. I brought this to the attention of my brother who was still taping. The movement stopped. So I went on talking to the camera. The rod tip twitched again and again I pointed it out. After about 3-4 times, I finall picked up the rod so I would be ready for the strike. That is when I caught my buddy out of the corner of my eye laying on his belly reaching up and tappint the butt of my rod. He and my brother began laughing histerically. Thats when the championship wrestling started. I looked back and saw tracks in the snow where my buddy had walked way around behind me and crawled on his belly for about 50 yards to sneak up on me. Jokes on me. It was fun to watch the video later.

The most fun that I have on the ice is when I bring a newbee and they hear and feel the ice cracking for the first time. At first I tell them to crawl to the shore but then I let them know that they will be all right and keep on fishing.
I also love to set a hook for my 3 year old Grandson and then let him think that he just caught a fish and watch the fun as he brings in a nice trout or perch. He won't be fooled by this much longer now that he is a seasoned angler.

Well lets see, there was this time when I was fishing at Pinevew and I hooked a tiger through the ice after about 10 or so min. I could not get the fish to come up out of the hole. well about that time a guy said he could get it out of the hole like they do on the great lakes or there abouts.
Then he said he was going to put his hand and arm down the hole and when the fish (tiger ) mind you , and I was to pull him to the hole and this brain surgeon was going to guide this fish out the hole.
well I had my dots but it was a go the fish came to the hole this guy went to gide him out the hole and then the water in the hole turned pink and this brain surgeon[ ] was holding his hand and the ice around the hole looked like some one had killed a pig, he and his buddy left to get some banaids that was needed.[crazy]
Oh yes the fish well another ice fisherman said he would drill with his gass drill another hole half over mine, with that done the tiger was around 35 in. and then let go.[cool][ ]

Make that 175 - actually I'm guilty of several of those hits on this thread. I just preparing for some of the possibilities that might come up while fishing with some of my "buddies" on this board - or maybe, to get some ideas for a future victim opr two of my own.[angelic]

While fishing last winter with Tincanfsh I accidently hooked myself in a potentially delicate place. Fortunately for me, because of the thick padding in my coveralls, no harm was done. I told Billy that he might need to help me get the hooks out of my coveralls. He was laughing so hard that he literally fell off of his chair and had to leave the ice shack for awhile to quit laughing. It wasn't intended to be a joke, but the end result was the same.

LOL... that's too funny.
I did something similar to a friend. When the ice was first safe at the berry one year, before it had even snowed on the newly formed ice, I took a couple friends up there... one being an ice fishing rookie. Needless to say it was VERY slick. There was about 4 inches of crystal clear ice, and when you hooked into a fish you could see it flashing 25 feet down... it was awesome. Anyway, later in the early afternoon, after the hot fishing had died, my rookie friend turned his back to his rod, so I put a hook with some leader on his line above his first eyelit. He was about 10 feet from his rod, and when he turned around I gave the hook a pull, so it made him look like he was having a strike. He got so excited that he started to run towards his rod to try and hook what he thought was a fish. Within two steps he did a COMPLETE backflip because of the slick ice. He just laid there for like 5 minutes, while the 3 of were also laying on the ice crying we were laughing so hard.

[cool]Well, this one time at band camp.................j/k[  ] Sorry, can't think of any funny ones right now, other than once at Scofield (I think it was-one of my first ice trips ever about 5 years ago) I was "watering the ice" we'll call it, about 20 yards away from my setup and as I was answering the call of nature I turned my head over my shoulder to see if I was getting any bites while away, and sure enough I was! So I quickly zipped up and sprinted towards the pole as it was by now going into the drink. Got there just in time but slipped on my can. Can't remember if I landed that fish or if he got off, but my buddy got a good laugh out of it!

This wasn't meant to be a joke but it turned out to be fairly funny. My buddy and I were ice fishing Strawberry and we were pulling them in left and right, well most of the other fisherman noticed and they weren't catching anything so one of them gathered his courage to ask us the secret. Well we had switched holes a few hours before and my friend had covered up the hole with snow. So this guy gets a little too close and nosey trying to view our tackle boxes and just then he trips and falls flat on his face. He had fallen into the hole up to his knee almost and then hopped up and said, "hey, there's a hole there!!!". My fingers were so cold from releasing a fish that I didn't realize what happened until about five minutes afterwards, but when it hit me, we didn't stop laughing for a while.

I haven't pulled too many pranks, but I did watch a guy fight a rock for about fifteen minutes, that he had snagged on the bottom of Bear Lake. He had quite a croud of people watching him fight what they thought was a big Mack. They were all surprised to see a big rock on the end of his spoon.

[font "Comic Sans MS"][black][size 3]Ever fight a 7-up can? IFG has. Petty hooked an empty 7-up can on the end of IFG's rod and dropped it down his ice hole. IFG picked his rod up, felt the weight and set the hook. A pop can is slightly heavier than neutrally buoyant and kind of slowly floats down. On the end of your line, it looks like a fish picking up your jig. IFG made some awesome hooksets on that can that day and we sat back and laughed till we were to tears and our bellies ached! Needless to say, the wrath of an ice fishing diety was upon us![/size][/black][/font]

Sure pick on IFG. It's all fun and games until someone gets all blowed up by a 20MM M61A1 Gatling Gun!

The prank pulled on us was by one of Mother Nature's most beautiful - a golden eagle. We were fishing at Fish Lake a few years ago - on the east side in bright sunlight at mid-morning. One of my buddies had caught several fish with one being a 20" splake. He had thrown them out on the ice in his "natural freezer" for safe keeping. As we were sitting BS'ing about 20 feet from his "freezer", we saw a shadow go by and turned around to see the eagle sweep the splake up in it's talons and fly away. We hollered but it kept the fish in a tight grip, flew to the shore, and devoured his catch on some rocks within plain sight of us wide-jawed, stupified fishermen!

You got a concealed carry permit for that thing ? Or, do you just use that for hunting jack rabbits out in the west desert ?

[cool][#0000ff]The first year that Deer Creek opened for (perch only) ice fishing, there were very few Utah anglers that knew much about ice fishing. For those of us with proper gear and a bit of basic knowledge, we could cover the ice with porky perch pretty fast. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]That always drew the newbies. They naturally started asking questions and sometimes got to be a real pain...especially when they insisted on using one of the two or three holes we had drilled for our own use...sometimes without even asking.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]On about our second or third Deer Creek ice trip, we got there early and rushed to get some good fish on the ice before the crowds got there. It was getting popular. We got a few just before couple of rookies made a beeline for our setup.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]I ditched my ice rod and picked up a rigged fly rod. I got back about 25 or 30 feet and started laying casts out to drop a streamer in the ice hole. Not so easy. Anyway, I think we only barely fooled the newcomers for about a minute before they realized we were a funnin' on them. Got a couple of other groups before the day was over though. It woulda really been something to hook a fish that way...in 40 feet of water.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Actually there's an old joke about something like that, where a guy on a snowmobile pulls up and watches the guy flinging a fly at an ice hole. After a few minutes he says "Hey, Dude, you ain't gonna get nothin' like that. Get on the back and we'll troll fer 'em".[/#0000ff]

It's too small for Jacks. I only use it for chipmunks and mice.
BLM,
Thunder and lightning is too good for you. I'll just make the "W" blow all winter on BL only so you can't go out. Better yet, I'll make it just cold enough that the ice is too thick to take the boat out, but to thin for anyone but me to walk on. Because I can walk on water, as you've seen for yourself.
