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!!!

I could fill this thread. My short form answers would be toaster porgies, an actual Chinese fire drill, guy fighting the anchor winch for 10 mins, a Mr. Hanky that would not topple over for 6 hrs in 10-12 ft waves and several episodes of bluefin tuna on a kmart rental rod with 60lb mono that inevitably result in a spooled reel being ripped off the reel seat and tearing off all the guides on the way to join the tuna.

This isn't really funny, more stupid IMO. I remember years back, must have been 18 or 19 years old. I was with a buddy of mine on a 3/4 day Bluefish trip on the Ol Salty out of AH. We were getting ready to leave the dock when these 5 clowns showed up last minute and grabbed 5 rental rods.

One guy immediately starts stripping all the mono off the rental rod and into the water. The guy must have stripped 100 yards of mono off the reel before the captain saw what was going on. The captain screamed what hell are you doing, that's new line. The guy promptly replied, "I'd like to use my own line!".

Till this day I've never heard a captain curse a fare out worse than than that guy got it. Needless to say, that line got spooled back on the rental rod.

Figures though, that jackass ended up winning the pool that day.
