I picked up Bobby's fishing license today since he was with me at Big R. I had to get a new mailbox after someone destroyed ours in an accident (a regular occurrence out here). Bob and I got our licenses a few weeks ago. How exciting it was. I've never in my life had a fishing license. The likelihood of getting "pulled over" on the river by a DNR (department of natural resources) agent isn't really all that likely, but it could happen. It is better to be prepared than to be embarrassed, and have to stop fishing right when you're having fun.
