A number of years ago I was ice fishing on a BC Lake for Rainbows. This couple walked up to see how I was doing and I happened to pull out a nice 16" trout. The older fellow got excited and opened his mouth to say something and his uppers shot out and hit the side of the hole skidded across the water and started to sink. Luckily I was down on the hole and had the presence of mind to scoop them out. Instead of thanking me his wife laid into him dragging him away, was tough to see the pained but grateful look on his face
