Ice fishing pranks
#9
Didn't start out as a prank, but I've thought about doing this intentionally as a prank since this happened:

My cousin and I were ice fishing at Currant Creek a couple years back. Working nights, he always uses his patented "sleeping" technique to catch fish. That is, he falls asleep and 9 times out of ten every time he wakes up and checks his pole, there is a fish on the end of it. Especially at places like Currant Creek and Strawberry. Anyway, we were both fishing and he was sleeping as usual. I noticed that his pole was bouncing a little and was about to wake him when I started getting some action of my own on my pole. I got my fish in and was getting ready to lower my jig back down when my cousin woke up. "Hey!?...Where's my pole?" he said. Apparently, his pole had gone into the hole with a fish on the end of the line! His new bride had just bought that pole for him for Christmas and he was feeling pretty bad about it. He drug out his back-up pole and started fishing with it. A while later, my pole was bouncing a little and I started to bring in what felt like a pretty good fish. I reeled up and found that my jig was still intact, but I had brought up somebody elses line that was tangled and wrapped around my line. Putting my pole aside, I started bring in the line by hand. First up came a pretty nice fish, and I kept bringing the line up and up came my cousins pole! We were both laughing so hard about it we coudn't breath.
I've thought many times about pulling that caper intentionally on someone else, but most other people I fish with don't fall asleep that often!
