"To Show your girlfriend/wife..."
Boudreaux was walking down the street when he was accosted by particularly dirty and shabby-looking homeless man who asked him for a couple of dollars for dinner. Boudreaux took out his wallet, extracted two dollars and asked, "If I gave you dis money, will you buy some beer wit it instead?" "No, I had to stop drinking years ago," the homeless man replied. "Will you use it to gamble 'stead of buyin' food?" Boudreaux continued to ask. "No, I don't gamble" the homeless man said. "I need everything I can get just to stay alive." "Will you spend dis money on fish bait 'stead of food?" "Are you NUTS!" replied the homeless man. "I haven't fished in 20 years!" "Well," said a smiling Boudreaux, "I'm not going to give you the two dollars. Instead, I'm going to take you home fuh a terrific dinner cooked by ma' wife." The homeless man was astounded. "Won't your wife be furious with you for doing that? I know I'm dirty, and I probably smell pretty bad." Boudreaux replied, "Hey, man, dat's okay! I juss want her to see what a man looks like who's given up beer, gamblin', and fishin'." |

Blondes and Ice Fishing ''THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE.'' Startled, the blonde moved further down the ice, poured a thermos of hot chocolate and started to cut yet another hole in the ice. The voice boomed, ''THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE.'' This time quite scared, the blonde moved to the far end of the ice. Then she started another hole and once again the voice said, ''THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THE ICE.'' The very scared blonde raised her head and said, ''Is that you, Lord?'' The voice answered, ''NO. IT IS THE MANAGER OF THE ICE RINK. |

Like shooting fish in a barrel*** If you come too late in the summer all of the stocked salmon will be gone and typically in the winter the wild salmon are way out in the North Atlantic. That only leaves the penned in kind. You see coastal Maine has been developing quite a salmon farming industry in the past decade or so. Atlantic salmon are raised in 70-foot circular pens off shore. Well recently one fish farm company was stuck with a pen full of oversized salmon that they could sell as food. They had two options - one grind them up for fertilizer or two auction them off on Ebay of all places. Believe it or not, they went with the Ebay option and six fishermen bid over $500 a piece to spend a day casting into the salmon pen. Seems kind silly doesn't it? Well not to the winning bidders. By all accounts they had a great time pulling in rod breaking, gear destroying giant salmon weighing an average of 20 pounds with the largest tipping the scale at 37 pounds. One guy managed to pull in 28 fish in three hours while the total haul was over 2,000 pounds of salmon (a lot of it went to charity)! Who knows, this might start a new tourist attraction for the area. ***This article compliments of the fishboy email newsletter on Jan.10, 2003. |

Record Fish A representative of the International Game Fish Association visited Cockrell later to tell him what the world record was. Cockrell would have made the record books in two categories for his fish, had he ignored a grand total of six potential world-record fish. A lot of people don't like to eat bluefish because
its a darker, oily fish but I understand Cockrell's hunger
especially if he did it up with Cajun spices on the grill.
Bluefish is great on the grill because the oils keep it from
drying out like a lot of the white fish. |

A young guy from Texas moves to California and goes to a big department store looking for a job. The manager says, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid says, "Yeah, I was a salesman back home in Texas." Well, the boss liked the kid, so he gave him the job. "You start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did." His first day on the job was rough but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down. "How many sales did you make today?" The kid says, "One." The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale for?" Kid says, "$101,237.64." Boss says, "$101,237.64? What did you sell him?" Kid says, "First I sold him a small fish hook. Then I sold him a medium fish hook. Then I sold him a larger fish hook. Then I sold him a new fishing rod. Then I asked him where he was going fishing, and he said down at the coast, so I told him he was gonna need a boat, so we went down to the boat department, and I sold him that twin engine Chris Craft. Then he said he didn't think his Honda Civic would pull it, so I took him down to the automotive department and sold him that 4X4 Blazer." The boss said, "A guy came in here to buy a fish hook and you sold him a boat and truck?" Kid says, "No, he came in here to buy a box of tampons for his wife, and I said, 'Well, since your weekend's shot, you might as well go fishing.'" |

Fishing Again?!?! A man tells his wife that he's going out to buy cigarettes. When he gets to the store he finds out however , that it's closed. So the guy ends up going down to the local bar to use the vending machine. While there he had a few beers and began talking to this beautiful girl. He had a few more beers and the next thing he knew he was in this girl's apartment and having quite a pleasurable time. The next thing he knew it was 3:00 AM. "Oh my, god , my wife is going to kill me!" he exclaimed. "Quick grab that Smelly Jelly from my coat pocket!" She got it for him and he rubbed it all over his hands. When he got home his wife was up waiting for him and she was furious. "Where the hell have you been!" He said, "Well to tell you the truth, I went into a bar, had a few drinks, went home with this blonde and I slept with her." "Let me smell your hands!" she demanded. He showed his wife his smelly hands. "Damn liar, You were out fishin again!" |

| Ten Clues That You've Chosen The Wrong Fishing
Guide: 1. He's got the open engine manual sitting on the console next to the controls. 2. He screams "Yeehaa," as he turns the boat away from the dock and pushes the throttle forward. 3. He thinks it's an asset that he can drive so fast that he gets the boat completely out of the water. 4. It takes him two hours and twenty-five minutes to reach your fishing destination on a five hour charter. 5. He can't stop laughing when he realizes that his brother the Sheriff gave you a speeding ticket on your way to his boat, and says nothing about getting the ticket cancelled. 6. He casually tells you that on days he can't get a charter he's a delivery driver for Pizza Hut. 7. He goes on for hours about how boats are safer than cars, but only because there are less vehicles directly next to one to hit. He runs aground three times during this oration. 8. He goes on for hours about his alien abduction experiences, with much detail given to the tests they supposedly performed on him. 9. The other fishing guides hold up protective religious icons as he passes by. 10. At the end of the day's catchless fishing, he begs you to allow him to use your name as a reference, because none of his other 110 charters would. |

| Two fishermen are fishing in a local river when a funeral procession passes over the nearby bridge. One of the fisherman takes off his hat and holds it close to his chest until the procession passes by then replaces it on his head. The other fisherman is impressed by this and remarks that he is touched by the others respect for the funeral, to which the fisherman replies "It's the least I could do, we would have been married 35 years next week." |
