funniest thing you have witnessed while fishing erie tribs

haha last year i saw a guy fall of the ledge of the tubes while he had a fish on.  needless to say the fish was lost and he was super embarrassed

I had a nice stretch of water to myself early one morning. Landed one fish by day break and had it on a stringer in a very shallow area right by shore. All good things come to an end, two young guys eventually came down to the spot and started fishing by me, just a bit down stream. Bout a half hour later I look over my shoulder and see one of these young guys stalking my fish on the stringer, creeping over real slow and casting right in front of the fishes nose. I hollered over, hey!, you know that fish is on a stringer right? A good laugh was had by all at his expense.

The funniest thing(s) that happen on the Erie tribs cannot be released to the public and this pertinent information has been disclosed to THE certain few.
 
 
 
 
 
That is all

As for funniest things, mine was a little outside of the tribs themself.  Actually a few, if you include a few of the dancers at the jiggly room near Girard, a few more scary than funny.  Hanging out with my college buddies, like Deetz says, those stories aren't really public forum material...
 
When I was a pup, my Dad took me on a some salmon/steelhead trips.  The one year, we woke up bright and early.  My Dad like many, isn't up until the morning coffee.  So, as we set out on Rt. 5 on the way to our morning fishing hole, he had his eyes peeled for a place to stop for morning joe.  He sees a sign, that must have been a great deal.  Instantly pulls off of Rt. 5, likely going 40-50mph, right through the drainage ditch / lawn, completely missing the parking lot entrance (by about 50').  The 1980 Malibu wagon "Brown Bomber" with hubcaps flying makes it's landing safely for Dad's morning Joe, doing it's best reinactment of Family Vacation.  At this point in time, he debates if the adreniline spike was enough, or should he face the store employees and need to relieve the coffee in a few hours.

Well another funny thing happened to me I was fishing the mouth of trout run and went out quite a ways. Well I went to deep and it started to get choppy. Whenever a wave came up I would go up with it and float man not a good feeling with 40 degree water lol that could have been ugly.

N iT wuz at tHe caSkaDE hoLe....

mid 80's west county fishing walleye with about half dozen others and a drunk guy comes down with a coleman lantern and shuts the hit down for us, we asked him to please turn off the lantern or back it up a ways . he started yelling that he owned the lantern and he would use it if he wanted . ended up his lantern exploded like a bomb, and later he brought a walleye in to the shore and reached down and lipped it like a bass. lost his fish and went away quietly.

Saw two fruits at follys wearing womens underwear over top their waders.
 
Somethin in the water, I guess...

Steel does funny things......hell if it keeps people away from me I would do it

WOW  I thought I was the only one that saw that.................  WHEW  I thought I was seeing things

I watched a guy hook a steelie on a fly rod at elk.  He proceeded to back up into back water on the stream.  He went up to his neck in water but continued up the bank with the rod high in the air with the fish still on.  He did land the fish.

A fella on Walnut asked me if he could buy the next fish I caught so he can take it home and smoke it. I told him it was illegal for me to sell the fish to him but instead I gave him the fish for free. I was using some fairly large barbless spey flies that day. He stood there patiently waiting, then wham! fish on! He grabbed my net and landed it but before I could release the tension my line had from him pulling on it, he unhooked the fly and the line tension snapped the fly right up his nose. Holy Crap! Blood everywhere!!!! He was screaming in pain!!! Then I started to double-guess myself, was it a barbless hook? Yes it was. with a little effort we were able to get it out of his nose. Within milliseconds a ton of people came running and nobody had a clue on what really happened. It seemed as though they thought I caught the guy on a back cast. I didn't think the whole event was funny but the guy appoligized to me, thanked me for the fish, and left.
Yes, it was on that day, that I was noted as one of the "Nuts" on Walnut.

1. Early AM at the waterfall hole on Elk. Saw a headlamp come down over the hill near the end of the flat. The headlamp waded into the stream and kept going and going and going until he hit the cliff face, then proceeded to walk upstream on the other side of the creek until he fell in.
2. A guy with what must have been a 12' spey rod at the stop sign hole on Walnut.
3. Guy fishing egg sacks long log in Elk at waterfall hole. He snagged on the tree. He then proceeded to walk into the deepest part of the hole, reach down and pull out the egg sack, walk back to his spot and cast right back into the hole.

BloodyHand

I watched a guy at the wall-of-nuts keep telling his wife, " you better keep a hold of that pole ". She kept setting it down on a rock. Sure as ship, a steelie smashed her presentation and took off with her setup. He cussed her out for a good 10 minutes. 5 minutes later the fella hooked into a steel and low and behold her fishin pole was attached to that fish...

and then he said, "So if you do that again you'll have to get it back yourself."
 

1) drunk guy lose both of his rods to fish within 15 minutes of each other in the pigpen.
2) guy walk off the ledge in Manchester hole, his hat floating while he was completely under water.
3) a guy straight ripping on elk with a large treble hook with a power egg on it catch a fish legally, hook was buried deep, legit hook up, you would have thought he won the lotto.
