Default The Best Ice Fisherman In Alaska

This one is specifically for Canadian Scroller, Carl.
This elderly gentleman was known all throughout Alaska as the absolute best ice fisherman in the state. He was gravely ill and lying on his deathbed. He pulled his son close and said "Son, I am not long for this world so I'm going to tell you all my secrets so you can carry on the family tradition as the best ice fisherman in Alaska!" He proceeded to pass the secrets to his son and said "Promise me that you will practice, practice, practice." "I will" said the son.
About five years had passed and the son had not gone ice fishing once. One day, he remembered his promise to his Dad and decided to go ice fishing. He gathered up all the dusty equipment from the garage, loaded his truck, drove to the site, and set up the equipment on the ice. He took his pick ax and made a forceful swing at the ice to make his hole. A loud, deep voice said "DON"T DO THAT!!! THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THAT ICE!!" The fellow looked around and didn't see anyone, so he picked up his ax and took another chop at the ice. The voice said "I TOLD YOU THERE ARE NO FISH UNDER THIS ICE." He paused and softly said "Is that you Pop, are you talking to me?" "NO, the voice said, I MANAGE THIS ICE RINK!"
