[pct-l] Never Under Esitmate a Thru-Hiker

[hiker97 at aol.com]

A couple of PCT thru-hikers were camping along the trail at Rae Lakes.? They thought it would be a good idea to do a little fishing for supper.? All of sudden the ranger comes by and notices some fish attached to a stringer in the water.

The ranger asks them if they have a license to go fishing.

Our intrepid PCT hero, Grizzly, says that they do not have a license, but they were not fishing.? These are their pet?fish.?

The ranger asks what do they mean by a "pet fish",

Grizzly explains that they take them hiking and every evening they let them out to go swimming.? Then he whistles and they come right back.

The ranger says that is a bunch of bull and fish cannot do that. 

Grizzly looks at the ranger and say he will show him how it works.?

Grizzly slowly releases the fish back into the water and waits.? After several minutes, the ranger turned to him and says,? "Well?" 

"Well, what?" says?Grizzly. 

"When are you going to call them back?" 

"Call who back?" 

"The FISH!!!!!" 

Grizzly says, "What fish?"
