Subject: Fish Story


A man was stopped by a game warden in Northern
Minnesota recently with two buckets of fish leaving a
lake well known for its fishing. The game warden asked
the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?
If you don't, I'm going to have to impound them as
evidence."

The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These
are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?!" the warden replied.

"Yes, sir. Every night I take these here fish down
to the lake and let them swim around for a while.
I whistle and they jump back into their buckets, and
I take em home."

"That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!"

The man looked at the game warden for a moment, and
then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works."

"O.K. I've GOT to see this!." The game warden was
curious now.

The man poured the fish in to the river and stood
and waited. After several minutes, the game warden
turned to the man and said, "Well?"

"Well, What?" the man responded.

"When are you going to call them back?" The game
warden prompted.

"Call who back?" The man asked.

"The FISH."

"What fish?" The man asked

Here is a link to a hilarious (I think) video advertisement of a bear and a man fighting over a salmon.

Believe it or not this type of thing actually happened to me.

Here is the story:
I live in the Voyageurs National Park in the summer where the park rangers have the power of the DNR conservation officers. On the lakes we have a slot limit where everything under 13 inches and over 17 inches has to be returned to the water(walleyes). When this slot went into effect, I didn't have a very accurate ruler in my boat, and had kept a couple of smaller fish to have for dinner that evening. I was stopped by the ranger and had my license checked and was asked if I had any fish in the live well. I said, Yes, and he asked if he could see them, I complied. It was rather windy that day so we were banging boats and I said, "give me the measuring trough and I'll measure them", and he did. Well after he handed me the trough, I measured the first one, and it was 14 inches, the second one 13 1/2 inches, the third one was 12 3/4 inches long, so I just dropped it over the side of my boat. He quickly asked me why I did that and I said "I didn't like the look that one gave me, so I threw him back. The ranger just stood there with a dumb look on his face, and asked for the trough back, and motored away.
