What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

Mine has to have been this lady got on for a fluke trip,(you know the kind loud talking and telling you how great her fishing skills are) so we start to make are way to the hook,and she is telling everyone that will listen how her son just bought her this 300 dollar fluke rod and how great it is.I am standing there watching as we start the first drift ,she puts a buck tail on let's about 4 ft of line out closed the bail and then attempted to cast. The rod went flying about 15 feet made a beeline right to the fluke gods and I had to go to the wheel house cause I could not stop laughing at her. Upon my return to deck my Only comment was (it's mighty quiet back here!) and. The rest of us just started to lose it you fellas got any stories ?

I've seen a lot of Googans just like you mention but nothing like that. I usually end up insulting somebody and come close to delivering or (usually) getting a punch in the nose.

I once ripped 5 iron workers from Staten Island new ones in the middle of the night. They were rip roaring drunk on Mescal and were keeping me awake. We were the only ones awake and I could have easily spent the night (and a whole lot longer) with Davey Jones.

They thought I was a complete lunatic (or just some A Hole). A bit of both for that maneuver.

My friend eating a salad on a boat when he decided the day before to go on a diet. Can't say I've ever seen anyone eating a salad on a boat ever.

Not exactly funny, but...

When I use to work deck on party boat bluefish trips, we caught a blue marlin one day on an AVA jig. Freak, once in a lifetime thing.

Word gets out and the next day two guys show up in the morning and they ask us if we have a fighting chair on the boat in case they hook up a blue marlin. At first I naturally assumed they were joking, but they weren't. :eek:

About 20 years ago I worked on the big Mohawk III. It was a nasty weekend and we were 3/4 day bluefishing something we didnt normaly do but that summer we did. It was blowing out of the NE seas were building 6-8 with some 10's. We had prob 70 people on the boat. 25% were sick before we got to the grounds. another 25% after we started chumming. Most of the fleet wanted to go in early. But they didnt want the almighty donuts. We had gotten atleast one fish. It was about 11am and i got the idea to walk around eating a nasty cheese steak. the smell of that got most of the remaining people sick and b4 you knew it 3 horns blew. Didnt make much money that day but funny memories .

I was on a AH Party boat striper trip a few years ago. As we were getting ready to leave the dock, a young couple jumped on at the last second. The guy was obviously out of it and was quickly asleep in the cabin. The young lady worked her way around the boat chatting up every one. She made it clear that she was a exotic dancer and had just met the guy she was with a few hours ago. She worked the boat throughout the day, pole dancing in the cabin, stripping in the stern, stripping in the bow, and she was tipped well.
It was a real stripper trip and I caught some stripers too.

Theses stories are part of the reason why you fish on party boats ! People should learn to relax and laugh more ! As I sit here and read. a quote form a old head prison guard comes to me. YOU CAN'MAKE THIS STUFF UP!!!!

il never forget this one,

i was about 7 years old on a bluefishing party boat and some piss drunken idiot started eating bunker chunks saying he forgot his lunch.

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

It was a last minute tuna trip last year, and a trip to remember. NOAA was as always wrong, they said 2-3 foot seas 5-10 wind. But it turn out to be 6-8 foot and 20 to 25. My good friend john end up praying to the porcelain god for a good 4 hrs. And during that time, all he remembered is getting a golden shower from His friend Ed. It was not intentional but the waves were rockin and john could not move so he did the best he could. All I said to john is " good thing you didn't look up."

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

LOL! Now thats a fishing trip.

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

We had a charter out of AH for spring stripers.

It was one of those days that was almost hot landside with a southwest wind and despite telling everyone to dress warm, one of the younger hotshots shows up with short sleeves, designer jeans, and a tube of sunscreen in his back pocket.

We went around the hook and the air temp dropped to 50 deg coming off the cold water.

He spent the whole time in the cabin getting seasick. What a maroon.

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

So I'm out on this tuna trip with a fishing buddy. I wake up about 4 am and go topside. The only guys up are 5 iron workers from Staten Island having a good old time. We start talking and they seem ok to me. Boat gets to the Canyon's and guys start getting ready to fish. My buddy comes up from his bunk and tells me about the tongue lashing he gave these guys about keeping him up. They see him and start giving him shit. My buddy (guess who) says dude if these guys start something you got my back right. So im thinking 5 iron workers against me and my buddy. Of course my reply to him was, " Do i know you" ? LMAO still! Funny stuff!

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

I posted this in another thread but too funny not to mention here... So the best is when I went early and setup 5 rods in the back of the boat for a night bluefishing trip and then went to dinner, met up with the 4 other guys, then got back to the boat and all 5 rods were laying against the cabin. Luckily for me I knew the captain and was talking to him before leaving for dinner and he made the guys who moved my rods move all their stuff to the front LOL!! All night they tried to do the PB shuffle and we kept kicking them out, oh it was quite funny stuff... I think one of them was using an 80lb tuna outfit!!

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

This was on a charter boat I used to work on but...

I did the day trip and was getting ready to go home and the night trip charter turns out to be a bachelor party. The guys were whooping it up already then I see the strippers coming down the dock. "Well, they're gonna have some fun tonight!" I thought.

The next morning I get to the boat and notice that it is remarkably neat and clean. I'm happy the night crew did a great job leaving me a clean boat...and then I look up. The ceiling in the cabin is covered in whipped cream and glitter.

Oh, they had fun alright!

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

I was talking to a first time fisherwoman on the J2 a few years back. She asked me about the fare. I told her how much plus $5 to get into the pool. She said she wasn't getting in the pool because she did'nt bring a bathing suit and where is the pool anyway? Too bad she wasn't the stripper.

Way back in the early 70's I was fishing on the Gambler for cod. It was January or February . A seal comes up next to the boat and starts barking for a handout. The guy nexted to me appears shocked and says "Look at the dog!"

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

i've seen alot of funny things happen on boats but I think I know how the term HEAD BOAT came about ... I was on a trip with 7 anglers ... on the first fish spot ... on the front bench while everyone was fishing in the back ... STRIPPER FISHING ... one guy this girl starts getting friendly $%#@!? and after an explosion ... the guy comes to the rest of us crying and hugs the mate ... then tells him that she will do him too ... after a while the mate comes running around the boat like a little kid that just learned to ride a bike ... telling the rest of us that she showed him her boobs and touched him .... during all this the guy put his rod down (again) and catches the pool fish ... on the way in the girl sits down with another angler and has an extent conversation about social morals while this guy seems to be sleeping ... true story ... :eek: :D

Seeing a dude with an ultra heavy roller stripper tuna outfit, international reel and all, going porgy/tog fishing on a charter.

Googan with a casting reel on a spinning outfit...and his buddy with a spinning reel on a casting outfit. They felt silly when we told them they had their equipment mixed up.

On a PB out of the Highlands, when Daisy Duke and her three friends blast past us on their pleasure boat...and flashed the crowd...and returned for another one.

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

I was on the Miss Belmar night bluefishing in the stern with my 16 year old son and some friends. There was this guy, there is always one, fishing with a river rod and 14# test. EVERY time he hooks up he yells at the top of his lungs "IT"S A F#@&%NG MAKO" and proceeds to beg everyone to get out of his way because he only has 14# test. Needless to say he tangled everyone up repeatedly. I cut this guy off several times with much whining on his part. Anyway our hero starts casting a diamond jig overhand and I told him right away to knock it off he was going to get someone hurt. He says the mates didn't tell him not to and he was told that's simply because they did not see him doing it and if he hooked any of us he was going swimming. He decides to set up in the corner and while bothering everyone there the guy next to him lifts about a six pound fish over the rail that immediately latches onto the guys neck. The whole back of the boat almost fell over laughing. Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy!

10 years old on my first head boat trip with my dad for whiting and macks on the Miss Belmar 2. I got a little green and to finish me off my dad says to me..."How about a nice glass of warm milk and a jelly donut". Needless to say I felt better once I got it out....and for the record I got him back 25 years later with a bunker chunk in the trunk of his Acura.

That must have been off the nude beach oceanside down the hook... pfffff

Had two ladies, who I think believed to be more svelt than they were, throw the tata's out at us coming in the MI after repeated attempts on our part to get them to participate...

Oooooof good thing I was in the middle of the channel, it was like a 4 extra large water balloons hitting the ground but not breaking...

T*ts are great ass-sets but ladies, the proverbial "show em if you got em", really only applies to the ones you see in the magazines.. haaaaa :cool:

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

I was blackfishing next to an old salt. The kind of racist old guy that doesn't care who is listening.

He gets slammed and the fish takes him into the wreck.

He turns to me and the everyone next to him and says:

"you know that Martin Luther King Jr. was a black fisherman...."

lets out some line, waits for the fish to make a move, and swings for the sky and starts screaming

"I'm free at last, thank god almighty I'm free at last!!!!"

He won the pool.

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

Bluefishing on a PB out of Belmar when a guy brings a 8+ pounder over the rail and trys to pick it up off the deck. Well it sqiurms out of his hands and latches on the the guy's next to him backside with a lockjaw death grip. The guy starts screaming " Get it off ! Get it off! " as he's trying to turn around to get a look at what's going on, the fish is swinging back and forth, and blood starts showing through his khakis. Has to put my fingers into the fishes eyes and pry its jaws open to get it to let go.

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

You Can't fool me!
This was on a AH party boat many years ago. A 20's something woman, fishing salt, for the first time, was amazed at the strange fish she caught.
Her first fish, a fluke , brown and white on the bottom both eyes on top. Wow! Her next fish was a stargazer, the mate explained that it can give off a small electric charge to stun its prey. Wow ! Her next fish ... a sea robin, orange , with horns and wings and barks like a dog. Wow ! At the end of the day the horn sounds and she hooks up, as the mate nets her fish, he says "it's a whistle fish". She says "No way... that's a Fluke"

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

Went to Blemar early-set up my rods in the stren to go bluefishing.

Big guy is there and drinking beer-lots of beer.

Around 6:30-6:45 the guy falls into the water and some folks help him out.

We haven't even left the dock yet.

Knew it was going to be one of those kinda nights with NJ's finest.

On the way out I see the guy drinking more beer and doing shots of whiskey

When the boat starts to set the anchor, I go to use the head...locked. When it opens up it was that guy. Went in and he had been smoking pot in the head.

We set up and start to fish and the Guy begins puking and puking..chumming

A little later I see him passed out in the cabin where he stayed the whole night...didn't even fish. Man I bet he had a GREAT TRIP from start to finish!

what could be funnier i where is the guy standing that took the pic?:D

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

In between spots, a little tiny guy was swiping ling from coolers. 99% of us were inside ,but a few of us started to watch him. Once he got to my buddies cooler, ( who was feeling good by this time), he went out to confront him. He came up behind him while he was looking in his cooler, and startled him I guess, because the dude jumped 2 feet, spun around and got into his kung-fu stance, about to whip my buddies ass. Guy was all of 5' while my friend was 6'2 +. Guy had a ling in his left hand ( from somebody's cooler) screaming " My ling! My ling! " while bouncing around, ready to fight!!

To this day, I swear my buddy would have got his butt kicked if he was not feeling pretty good and did not fall to deck laughing!!! Rest of the trip was interesting as we would toss our ling back into the water in his direction! Some times I wish he had followed through.......would have been a much better story!!! :D

Re: What was the funniest thing you have seen on a party boat?
 

Back in 1973/74 I was fishing the Afternoon trip on the Seaforth . We set up inside NW La Jolla about 1/4 mile outside of the kelp . We had a pick of Calico Bass , Bonito , and big Greenback Mackerel going when some Yellowtail showed up in the slick . They would follow but not bite anything that we threw at them . I saw one pounce on a hooked Mackerel but it was too big to swallow . I quickly stripped a fresh Mack and flylined the strip out . I let it soak a while as the current was running straight back . While walking the strip back I got bit . I gave it a count of 3 and locked her up . Fish on ! A nerdy young deckhand we called Lightweight grabbed one of the strips that I cut , hooked it on his new custom Sabre set up , stood on middle pipe of the stern starboard corner rail and let the strip fly . I guess that he figured that he could see the fish better that way . Just as Capt. Larry started yelling at him to get down the kid got bit . He swung the rod , fell backwards , and let go of the rod in mid air as he did an ass plant on the deck . The rod hit the top of the rail and took off like the roadrunner in cartoons being towed by the Yellowtail towards the kelp . The deckhand on the tanks laughed so hard that he stepped in the starboard bait tank , soaked half of his body , and narded himself . With the reel locked up there was no chance of recovering it . Other than a bruised ass , family jewels ,and Ego's , the only thing that was terminal was the gaff in my Yellowtails head . It was one of the best times I had while fighting a fish .
