The great Southern gentleman and comedian, Jerry Clower often regaled folks with this fishing story: During a particularly dry spell one year down in the great state of Mississippi, times were hard on folks in many ways, but really bothersome was the fact the good ol' boys just weren't catching any fish. That is, except one guy who drove through town daily with bushels of fresh fish in his truck. The local game warden, being naturally suspicious, demanded to go fishing with the fortunate fellow. He agreed and rowed the warden out to his favorite spot. The warden barely had time to rig his pole, when he saw the good ol' boy flip a lighted stick of dynamite into the still waters. Ka-Boom....fish floating everywhere. The official was stunned, then indignant. "You just cain't do that, son, it's against the law!", he blustered. Non-plussed, the fisherman calmly picked up another stick, lit it, and handed it to the warden, and said "you'ens gonna arrest me....or FISH?"
