A C.O checked a boat in early May and found the guy had five large bass in the livewell. When the C.O. told him he was going to charge him with catching bass out of season the guy remarked " they are my pet bass I caught last year and every week I take them out for a swim and when I blow my fish whistle they swim back to the boat and I take them back home to the aquarium." When the guy seen the warden was dubious he put the fish in the bay. After 20 minutes he gave the whistle to the C.O. which he started blowing on. When no bass returned the warden said "where's the fish", to that the guy responded "WHAT FISH?"
One I picked up from Quinte fishing.com.

That just might be a true story....
Many moons ago, ( or a few decades ago, fishin' through the ice, when the law in Minnesota was one line per person, somebody I know, lol, was fishing with a couple extra lines when the warden pulled up on a '67 Scorpion snowmobile. He immediately pointed out the extra lines. So as he's poised to write a ticket, a bobber goes down. So the guy (I know), kneels down and plays the fish. At the same time, the other two lines get a bite. I, (oops, I mean the guy I know),hollers at the warden to tend those lines. He proceeded to land two nice walleyes. THEN....he writes the ticket. In court, it was splained how the whole picture unfolded. The judge asked the warden if it was true. He agreed with every detail. Well.....the judge gave the warden a warning about fishing with two lines and of course, left the guy I know, off, because he was only fishing with one line. TRUE STORY! Shoulda been a lawyer....lol
