My funny story happened on my boat. I was trolling along when I looked over at my friend Brad. Brad's an unorthodox kind of guy. That can be good sometimes (I guess). Anyway, he proudly held up his "rig" and said to me "What do you think - will this catch fish?" He had tied up - in order - a dodger, 20" to a bare red hook - then 20" to a small red flasher - then 20" to a flatfish. Tom and I looked at each other - I thought Tom was going to burst out laughing but he showed great restraint. I said in no uncertain terms that we were not going to toss that over the side of the boat. I tired to explain why it was not a good setup. Finally after argueing I laid down the law. "This is my boat and we aren't using that crazy rig." To which Brad responded "You are a fascist fisherman!"

So now I have that going for me...
