A funeral procession pulled into a cemetery. Several carloads of family members followed a black truck towing a boat with a coffin in it.

A passer-by remarked, "That fellow must have been an avid fisherman."

"Oh, he still is," said one of the mourners. "As a matter of fact, he's headed to the lake as soon as we bury his wife."

The day after his wife disappeared in a kayaking accident, a Boothbay Harbor Maine man answered his door to find two grim-faced Maine State Troopers.

"We're sorry Mr. Wilkens, but we have some information about your wife," said one of the troopers.

"Tell me! Did you find her?!" Wilkens asked.

The troopers looked at each other.

One said, "We have some bad news, some good news, and some really great news.
Which would you like to hear first?"

Fearing the worst, Mr. Wilkens said, "Give me the bad news first."

The trooper said, "I'm sorry to tell you, sir, but this morning we found your wife's body in the bay."

"Oh my God!" exclaimed Wilkens.

Swallowing hard, he asked, "What could possibly be the good news?"

The trooper continued, "When we pulled her up, she had 12 of the best looking Maine Lobsters that you have ever seen and 60 good-sized Rockfish clinging to her. Haven't seen lobsters like that since the 1960's, and we feel you are entitled to a share in the catch."

Stunned, Mr. Wilkens demanded, "If that's the good news, then what's the great news?"

The trooper replied, "We're gonna pull her up again tomorrow."
 
LOL Great jokes!
 
Not a fisherman but related:

A man and a friend areplaying golf one day at their local golf course. One of the guys is about tochip onto the green when he sees a long funeral procession (with an assortment LBCs inthe procession) on the road next to the course. He stops in mid-swing, takesoff his golf cap, closes his eyes, and bows down in prayer.

His friend says: ā€œWow, that is the most thoughtful and touching thing I haveever seen. You truly are a kind man.ā€

The man then replies: ā€œYeah, well, we were married 35 years.ā€,

This is the Massachusetts version of the joke. I grew up in Maryland, and we told the joke with Chesapeake Bay blue crabs. :highly_amused:

I've spent a lot of time in Charm City and have beaten my share of crabs with those little wooden hammers. The meat sure is tasty, but ****, you have to work so hard for it. Give me a Maine lobster any day. Just so much more meat for so much less effort.

Yeah, but it's like a crawfish boil: More of an event shared with friends and family, with the added bonus of succulent, spicy sustenance.

OK, now I'm hungry!

Exactly! Plus, you spend more energy breaking the durn things open than you get from eating the meat, so all the calories can come from the beer! :cheers:

Keep talking - I've been advocating something like that for a long time!
 
I volunteer my place, just because I can't really travel during the school year. I'll cook up the crawdads someone else will need to bring the beer.
