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

[Chico]

Fishing one of the half day boats out of Key Largo in March when the spring breakers are out in force. All day they were just letting their lines out, forgetting about them, and drinking beer. Mate ends up cutting them ALL off, and they never notice. After several hours they are all passed out except one guy, I pull in a remora and the mate slaps it onto one passed out dude's back and yells!! The dude jumps up, his girl is now screaming at the top of her lungs while this dude spins around in circles trying to see what's sucked onto his back. His buddy who knew what was going on has now pissed himself laughing as the rest of us are rolling on the deck, dying with laughter. Next trip out a flying fish smacks a girl on the side of the head, her studly boyfriend assumes the dude standing on the other side of her just cold cocked her, so he goes on the the attack!! We were all cracking up, while trying to break them up.

I was recently on an AH party boat bass fishing. There was a guy that had been drinking out of a flask and by time we rounded the hook he was yelling at the captain "stop the f'n boat". This went on all day searching for life to throw jigs at. At one point he tripped over his cooler and knocked over a whole bunch of peoples stuff, and almost went over the rail.

When we were kids my old man took my brother and I out bottom fishing- Ling, Whiting & Cod. Forgot the boat out of the Atlantic Highlands.

Anyway my fishing expert younger brother pulls something up. We had not see one like this- much sleaker looking than the other "pudge" fish (ling ,cod).

Someone says a pollock. About 7-8 pounds. My brother George squeezing it with two hands after unhooked said I would NEVER catch a nice fish like this. It wiggled. He squeezed it even harder to hold it.

It popped free of his hands upwards. It hit the rail and was back in the Atlantic. He's yelling to get the gaff. I laughing and my dad is so pissed off.

Some guy next to me I never met before says : "serves him right. Now you can catch it."

FUNNY MOMENT. There were not many funny moments with my dad fishing (or crabbing).

He would turn crazy man on the water if anything went less than pefect.

Well not a party boat but funny.

When I was a resident in general surgery in manhattan I and a friend of mine that is jewish. He was born in manhattan raised there and did not even know how to drive. One day after being on call for 90 hrs he overhears me ament philadElphiA crew talking about going fishing for tuna out of cape may nj.
He begs me to comme so I reluctantly agree. We get there and while everyone is chunking and jigging the whole time he is in the bunk We see the fish but they won't bite so everyone is sort of pissed. He wakes up after 10 hour nap comes up and grabs a rod. Gets a rod with a lucanus jigg. I teach him how it works to release the spool and count the feet. So he is watching us vertical jigging and does the same. First jigg on the drop he hooks up and turns to us scared and is yelling" the **** is wrong with my rod. You goyems gave me a bad one"

So he had no idea wha had happened untill he was almost spoled. That was the only fish of the day b

My first time on a party boat (the miss moore out of shoals dock on staten island), I carry the pre-rigged rods onboard and lean them against the cabin (we were about half way down the starboard side). I come back from checking out the inside of the cabin and I'm wondering why my dad is hovering over this woman. I look at my brother who starts cursing me under his breath (didn't take much)....I finally realize that the poles slid down, and one of the rods hooked this lady in her wig. My dad was doing his best to get the hook out of her wig without laughing (or cursing at me), all the while the lady is holding on to her wig like a hurricane was going to blow it away.

funniest thing I ever saw...voyager tilefish trip 2008 -- One intrepid angler decides instead of lead sinkers he is going to fish a breakaway-weight system employing a 10lb bag of dirt in a sack. he brought a couple of these on board. I was fishing just down the rail from the gentleman as we make the first drop in 900' and im watching this whole thing unfold with absolute joy/dismay/curiosity just knowing this CANNOT work but i've never been a hater on the party boat and just went about my own business. sure enough as soon as his bag-o-soil hits bottom it becomes apparent there is too much stretch in the guys system to break the (not light enough) mono he had connecting the dirt sack to his high low rig. As the rod doubles over (it was a Trevala!!!) my man starts hauling back on this thing like he is Mike Iaconelli doing a hollywood hookset on a largemouth bass. over and over he is swinging and I can hardly keep from falling overboard im trying so hard not to laugh. faced with line peeling off the reel the only option is to lock down on the drag and start reeling the bag of dirt 900' back to the boat hoping it would break in the current which it did not do until the mates gaffed it for him a half hour later. I am pretty sure the guy was a good sport about it afterwards and caught a tile when the boat loaned him an 32oz lead.

Night bluefish trip, 2 guys next to me getting completely drunk on whiskey can barely sit up straight. They are basically deadsticking when when rod has a run. Guy, sitting down because he can not stand, swings his catch. He is all excited I gotta shark I gotta shark and removes the hook and immediately jams the "shark" down his pants right into his junk. Well the "shark' was a Dogfish and well good thing he was heavily numb from booze. 10 minutes later he was out cold.

Had a customer fishing in the bow a couple years ago who would swing for the stars trying to set the hook on a ling......told him he was going to rip the fishes head off doing that and to take it easy...this went on all morning.

Waited till he went to the head and left his rod in the rod holder, still in the water. Had Eddie the deckhand at the time bring up a ling head which we quickly attached and dropped back down......The "I told you so" laughter and look on his face when he brought up the head was priceless and truly memorable!

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.

THATS SWEET
