My dad took us to Michigan once when I was a kid, while we were there I was cane pole fishing in a small private pond and hooked into a MONSTER blue gill. After I got it in, we took it to the local bait shop there to have it weighed and sure enough, I beat the Michigan state record by nearly a pound. BUT, as the guy was weighing it and writing down my information, he asked me where I was from. Being young and stupid, I told him, "I'm from NC, I guess I had to come up here and show you boys how to fish a lick". I remember him looking at me in a sort of disbelief and as he stopped writing, he said in a disgruntled voice, "Is that so?" and I never got credit
