Guy is sitting on the river bank catching trout. But they're out of season.
The game warden comes up and says "Boy, I'm gonna have to write you up for trout fishing out of season and trout fishing without a stamp. That comes with a $500 fine on each count, and since this is considered poaching, we have the right to confiscate any of your property used in the commission of this act, including that there fancy truck you have."

The guy looks at him and says "well sir, I'd say you have a good case--if I was actually fishing for trout. But I'm fishing for bass."

The warden looks in the bucket next to the guy and there are clearly a bunch of trout swimming around in the bucket. He points it out to the guy and says "then how to do you explain those?"

The guy looks at him and says "Oh, those aren't wild trout--those are my pet fish. I raised them from minnows in a tank at my house. I've had them for years, and every now and then I like to take them down here to the river and let them swim around a bit, kinda like folks do at those parks for dogs. When it's time to go home, I just stick the bucket in the water, whistle and call them back into the bucket. I've got 9 of them back, but one is still out there, so I'm killing time waiting for her to come back."

The warden is incredulous. "Boy, how dumb do you think I am?! You honestly expect me to believe that these are your pets, and you let them run around in the river, then they actually come back when you call them?!"

"Yup. And I'll prove it." He gets up, dumps the fish into the river and yells after them "Okay guys, swim around a little bit more, and go find your sister!"

He sits back down and resumes fishing for bass while the warden stands there.

A couple minutes goes by and the warden says "Alright boy, let's see it."

The guy looks at him and says "See what, sir?"

The warden says "Let's see you call back your pet fish!"

The guy looks at him and says "What "pet fish" sir?"
