Has anyone ever done this or had it done to you ?

Sneak up to someone and while you are chattin' open his air valve a little, then back off, laugh and takes some pics! [laugh]

I'd have one less friend if someone did that to me. (No. I wouldn't kill him. I'd mark him off my list.)

[cool][#0000ff]Nobody could ever pull that on me. First, my tube is bristling with rod holders and other goodies they would have to work around. Second, the valve on my tube is secured with a screw down cap that would require some super dexterity to negotiate. Third, a quick swing of my fillet knife and the culprit would have more of a problem than a "slow leak".[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Not saying I would be above pulling that on someone if I could do so without detection. But, I would never do anything that might put them at risk...for sinking, loss of tackle or worse.[/#0000ff]

That's the result of a pretty sick sense of humour.

Not funny. I'm calling this one dangerous, as getting out of a sinking tube while wearing full clothing is a recipe for a drowning. Besides, if I were to lose the $100+ in fishing tackle and gear on my tube because some idiot pulled my valve, there would be a serious ass kicking to be had.
DON'T TOUCH MY AIR VALVE.

I [angelic] would not even do that to my brother whom I fish with and I do not let him get that close to me [pirate]

[cool]Well Pilgrim... (as John Wayne would say)... Ya didn't tell us that. We thought you were headed for Davey Jones' Locker. And for me at least, it conjured up mental pictures of collapsing tube curling around you just before you sank out of sight - and that ain't funny.

[cool][cool][cool]Next time don't omit the most important detail.

[cool][#0000ff]Now lissen up and lissen tight (more John Wayne) ol' buddy. Why'n'tcha cut the Pilgrim some slack. He was just pullin' yer chain and he did a right good job of it.[/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]Heck fire, if'n he'd a said it was on'y two feet to begin with, this thread woulda sunk all by its ownself. [/#0000ff]
[#0000ff][/#0000ff]
[#0000ff]You probably wouldn't have any fun at a fun house. Just remember, a sense of humor is better than no sense a'tall. [/#0000ff]

Yeah I shoulda mentioned the shaller water! though even if it were deep he woulda been safe, because i was laughin so hard and had the camera pointed at him that he soon found out what was going on and closed the air valve stopping the leak.(he was pretty quick for a newbie) Plus he had the whole other side air bladder full, plus the foam seat, plus I wouldnt have just sat there and watched if he really was sinking.

Actually this is the second time I got him, the first though was not intentional and could have been dangerous. I gave him my old caddis donut tube that i had used for like 10 years.

Me in my ol donut catchin bluegills


I never had any problems with it except the occasional small leak from sunfish spines. Well he goes out by himself and the tube got a huge leak! I guess he had quite an adventure getting to shore! Good thing he can swim and has a good sense of humor, hes always razzin me about how Im trying to drown him! Now hes got a good tube and knows to watch it when I get close so I think he will do pretty good now![cool]
