I am always looking for ways to make my buddies feel like dirt for stupid, and not so stupid mistakes, that result in missed takedowns, lost fish, and bringing bananas in the boat. I hear that one guide likes to bring a rag doll and remove the head and limbs for each rim fire on a strike or for lost fish. When the doll has no head, arms, or legs, you're done for the day.

I was at a tackle shop just off of the Burlington exit the other day and saw a bright hunter orange cowboy hat and I am thinking of picking one up and putting some peacock feathers sticking straight up out of it. When somebody screws up, they'll have to sport that God awful orange hat all day until they land their next fish and make up for the mistake.

This is meant to be all in fun as Parker is constantly crackering off fish and Brian is always bringing bananas. I want them to be on their toes from now on for fear of sportin' the orange hat all day.

What are some of the things you guys do when your fishin' buddies screw up?
