Well, when you think about it, sticking a hook into something's lip or even deeper in the throat, then pulling them by that hook to the surface where they suffocate is kind of cruel. I say let's all go to dynamite. It's a much quicker death..."
A new young game and fish warden was hired on the Kenai just last year. Wanting to make a name for himself, He went undercover to the Sportsman's Warehouse to ask around about the most successful fishermen in the area. "That's easy to answer" exclaimed the manager!" Old Sitka deer and (older!) Ironbender are the two most famous in these parts for always getting a limit, even when no one else even gets a bite!" Hmmmn thought the warden as he then drove over to the Three Bears store. He was intrigued to receive the same answer there. Knowing he had his work cut out, the warden met and then visited with the two suspects several times over the course of a month. He knew he was golden when Sitka and Bender invited him to the lake the following Monday.
After running the boat up to the lake, Sitka wasted no time in lighting a large stogie and sucking it till the end was glowing hot and red. Bender reached in under the seat and pulled out a stick of dynamite, handed it to Sitka who lit it and pitched it out as far as he might. It went off, with water spraying the surrounding area and boat, and dead salmon came to the surface. With that our local warden stammered out that he was a warden and announced he was going to have to arrest the both of them. Bender just smiled as he tossed a lit stick of dynamite to the fella and said," you gonna get fishing or just talk all day?"
