Here is one that we pulled on my son in Alaska a couple of years ago .A friend of mine and are 2 sons (12yr) were fishing the Kenai for kings with a guide( RW's guide service) Fishing was slow for couple of reasons 1 because of the no bait restrictions and the river was pretty silted up also. Anyway my son and his friend had fallen a sleep in the boat chairs.So the guide said it looks like the buckett trick time .So he reeled in my son's line clipped on a 5 gal. buckett and let out about 60 yards of line and set the drag loose and the clicker on .He then gunned the kicker motor and screamed FISH ON both boy's jumped up looking to see who's rod had the fish on my son grabed his rod with his eye's as big saucers. He was reeling like mad and it was takeing out line we told him it was big one .During this time we got Jake the other boy to scramble for the net. He was aleady to net the fish.After about 10 min. of this he started to gain on the buckett.Jake got the first look at the buckett and said thats not a fish it's a buckett.My son's face just dropped like someone had just shot his dog . The guide said maybe there is a fish in the buckett.My son said their better be.We got all of it on video it is pretty funny and we will be laughing about it for years
