Sam's Fishing

A game warden noticed how a particular fellow named Sam consistently caught more fish than anyone else. Whereas the other guys would only catch three or four fish a day, Sam would come in from the lake with a boat full of fish. Stringer after stringer was packed with freshly caught trout. The warden, curious, asked Sam his secret. The successful fisherman invited the game warden to accompany him and observe.

So the next morning, the two met at the dock and took off in Sam's boat. When they got to the middle of the lake, Sam stopped the boat, and the warden sat back to see how it was done.

Sam's approach was simple: He took out a stick of dynamite, lit it, and threw it into the air. The explosion rocked the lake with such a force that dead fish immediately began to surface. Sam took out a net and started scooping them up.

Well, you can imagine the reaction of the game warden. When he recovered from the shock of it all, he began yelling at Sam, "You can't do this! I'll put you in jail, buddy! You will be paying every fine there is in the book!"

Sam, meanwhile, set his net down and took out another stick of dynamite. He lit it and tossed it in the lap of the game warden with these words: "Are you going to sit there all day complaining, or are you going to fish

When I first went to Denmark to fish in 1975 there were a few other Scots and English fishermen living there. There was also a bunch of Irish lads who worked in the factories ashore. One of them Patrick McTeigue was daft on angling and used to be out with his rod all of his spare time. One day Patrick comes into the King George pub in Esbjerg with a big bag of trout. After getting a beer he sits down and tells us he has found a place where there are so much fish that the water is boiling with them. He had caught a dozen in less than an hour.
Of course all the lads are interested and three of them an English lad called Jim another Irish lad called Jackie and a Dane called Heiki who have rods decide to drive out with Patrick the next day after work. They all meet up, get into Patricks car and head off into the countryside. They park the car up and walk a good bit along a track until finally they come to this small lake. They get out their rods and reels etc and start fishing, sure enough the water is soon boiling with fish and they are getting a bite on nearly every cast. Suddenly an older chap comes charging along towards them shouting as he comes and as none of the three Brits understood Danish at that time they turn to Heiki and ask him what he's saying. Heiki goes over to speak to the chappie, listens to him, turns white and tells them the man says if we don't get the hell off of his fish farm he is calling the police and having us arrested. Needless to say there was much mirth in the King George that night.

Nice one George
