I once watched one do a stealth operation to catch people fishing on a lake without a permit.

He got there well before dawn, slipped his boat into the lake and hid in the shadow of a ledge among the reeds. He'd wait until a boat would get way out into the middle of the lake and get settled in. After they'd make a few casts and get real comfortable, he'd come tearing out like a bat out of hell and swoop down on them. Then he'd write them a citation and force them to leave. He even took one guy's boat!

Rinse and repeat. It was the most entertaining ending to an insomnia-plagued night I've ever had!

I want to go back in time and smack the dipstick that decided to license fishing of all things.

If you give a man a fish, the FDA will fine you for not being regulated to distribute fish.
If you teach a man to fish, the Environmental Police will confiscate his rod and boat.
Now repeat after me: I am free.
