Out fishing

Fishing is already pretty interesting to me, but if I ever become bored with
it and need to spice it up, I'll keep your bets in mind, Randy. You might
want to consider mashing down the hook barb on the lip-trolling thing, but
otherwise that sounds like an interesting bet.

(((((((Not intended for a lot of pain, like the mashed barb, keeping
in mind the trolling worm wouldn't have a hook through it


((((((((Oh if you never tried it, next time your out fishing with a
buddy, tie on one hook to both lines and fish together. while we have
only did this one time. We caught a nice bass and it was a ton of fun
setting the hook and reeling it in


(((((( Oh fishing is far from boring Joe. You have to
understand, if you fished with Dave all the time you would want to find
ways to inflict pain on him too




The problem is, where do you go from there? How do you up the ante? If your
ideas run dry, here are a few to get the creative juices flowing again:


((((((((((((((Ideas run dry? Nah



1. Loser must hold a two-edged razor blade in his mouth while eating an
entire can of Vienna sausages. Oh, mama! Get the camera ready for some wild
shots!


((((((((((((((((((There's something wrong with you

2. Loser has to put a legal-size bass down his shorts and leave it there the
rest of the day, providing the winner countless opportunities to ask in
front of bystanders, "Are you excited to see me, or is that a bass in your
pants?" Barrels of fun, especially if you can work in a stop at a crowded
supermarket or restaurant on your route home.


((((((((((What you don't think there has been some fish down
pants already? yes we even used the exact line. Only we relplaced bass
with crappie

3. Winner gets his pick of any lure in the loser's tackle box. Not
particularly funny, but highly motivating. I'd take that bet, since most of
my crankbaits are ones I plucked from trees along the lake, while lots of
guys I fish with actually buy theirs.

(((((((((((((( I found a lure once, but i think it was mine

4. Have you considered "strip fishing"? Like strip poker, but every time one
angler catches a fish, the other removes an article of clothing. Be careful
who you offer that bet to; some guys might turn into fish-catching maniacs,
while others would surreptitiously remove treble hooks from their
crankbaits. This would definitely work better in mixed company, and probably
before October rolls around, too.


(((((((Again please look at that video I posted and see
"Dave", mixed company would mean Jeremey or Harry came out fishing. I
really don't want to see Harry without clothes and Jeremy would remove
his clothes without a bet


5. Paddle-whack might be an interesting idea, if you're keen on the idea of
inflicting pain on the loser. You could do this in a number of ways. One
method is every time one guy catches a fish, he gets to take a swing with
the boat paddle and use the other guy's butt as a piñata. Ha-ha-ha.... What
highjinks!

(((((((Interesting. I kinda like it, all though Dave would probably
hit harder, It's a quantity issue so I would have the upper hand, no
pun intended

6. Not exactly a bet, but to spice up your fishing, why not arm each angler
with a long pole, the purpose of which would be to knock off the other
angler's fish or break his line as the fish approaches the boat. I've fished
with a couple of guys who would be naturals at that, considering the way
they wield a net.

(((((((We allowed this in a bet a few times, but figured it's only
a matter of time before all tackle and gear were lost in the lake

Once you get started, there's no end to the kinds of bets or challenges you
can add to keep fishing interesting.


(((((( Joe as usual, your just too damn funny. I really hope you
can make it up here to fish sometime. I have no doubt we would use up
both batteries in a day regardless if the fish bite was there or not

anyone can fish for money, you don't get pressure till you up the
stakes.

The other bet we can't seem to do yet. Loser takes a 1/0 hook behind
the lip attachs it to 20 feet of mono and trolls a speedworm for 1
minute around the pads. That one is just a bit scary, funny but scary
