The Newfie vs. the Warden
A Newfie was stopped by a game warden recently with two ice chestsfull of fish. He was leavin’ a cove well-known for its fishing.
The game warden asked the man, ‘Do you have a license to catch those fish? ”Naw, sir’, replied the Newfie. ‘I ain’t got none of dem derelicenses. I don’t need one. You must understand, by, dese here ismy pet fish.
”Pet fish?” Yeah. Dat’s de trut’ bye. Every night, I take dese fish down to decove and let ’em swim ’round for awhile. Den, when I whistles, deyjump right back into dese here ice chests and I takes ’em home.
”That’s a bunch of hooey! Fish can’t do that. ‘The Newfie looked at the warden for a moment and then said, ‘It’s de trut Mr. Government Man. I’ll show ya. It really works. ”O.K.’, said the warden. ‘I’ve got to see this!’
The Newfie stood on a rock and poured the fish into the cove. Then he stood and looked out to sea. After several minutes, the warden says, ‘Well?’ Well, what?’, says the Newf. The warden says, ‘When are you going to call them back?’ ‘Call who back?” ‘The FISH’, replied the warden! ‘What fish?’ , replied the Newfie.
Moral of the story: We may not be as smart assome city slickers on De mainland but by the lardtundering jaysus we ain’t asdumb as some Government employees.
I can’t tell you how much I appreciated everything you did to make my fishing trip unforgettable. That trophy brown was totally unbelievable! Frankly, I’m surprised we were able to land him. That was one of the longest fights I’ve ever had with a fish. Fighting that trout and the river current was a whole new experience for me. Your advice and help were invaluable. I will definitely call you the next time I get to New Zealand. And I really enjoyed your website article and photo. Thanks again for putting me in position to catch the fish of a lifetime. And it was almost a few fish of a lifetime. All in all…brilliant!!!
