Duh --- where does the worm go?

Paul Crowder of Forrest City, Arkansas, caught a state-record bass in Lake Dunn near Wynne, Arkansas. It weighed 16 pounds, 5 ounces, and beat a record set in 1976. 

Alas, when the game warden checked, old Paul had bought his fishing license three hours AFTER he caught the fish. No state record for Paul -- just a fine for fishing without a license. And I bet they didn't even let him keep the fish!
