Thanks for all your input...all good points.
Some after thoughts and I'll let it go: 1) These boys were not purchasing a Lic. just getting punch cards 2) When was the last time you heard of a 10 yr old fathering a child? 3) Has anyone ever seen or heard of a "Deadbeat Dad" disquised as a 10 yr old?

A PROPOSAL...
We find someone within our ranks that has a way with words and is willing to give up some fishing to be a politician. (Yes, I know this is not a popular idea, the seasons are already too short.)
To insure we've got the right person the qualificatiions should be a little different.
1) This person should know how to tie an egg loop.
2) Be able to identify different species of fish.
3) Have the ability to read the river.

(...I'm you could add more to that list)
------------------------------------------
I'm convinced, the only ones with any "common sense" are out fishing!
