Telling fish tales is a tradition dating back to at least the early pre-Cambrian period. In Texas however, you'd better not get caught lying about the size of your catch if you're in a tournament....
From NYTimes -- A bill that would make it a misdemeanor — and in some cases a felony — to misrepresent the size, weight or provenance of a fish in a fishing tournament arrived on Gov. Rick Perry’s desk on Wednesday, after passing the State Senate in a unanimous vote on Monday.
Do we really need a state-wide law banning lying about your fish in tournaments? Don't they measure and weigh the fish you catch? And aren't there already tournament rules about cheating? Why do we need a law?
What'll Texas do next, pass a law to discourage peeking during hide-and-seek? If you get caught, you lose automatically....everybody knows that. But I guess the Texas legislature has solved all that states' other problems, which is the only explanation for wasting time on this.

We MIGHT have one or two more important things to be concerned about. Although Sonny Perdue, former Governor of Georgia, put fishing in front to f a lot of other things with his "Go Fish!" movement. And that bolstered Georgia and we are now an economic powerhouse with the best schools in the nation.
