“The expression ‘fish story’ was inspired by the tendency of fishermen to exaggerate their exploits. Lying is always a sin, and when it involves fraud it can be a crime. But is lying about the size of a fish a felony? It is in Texas– a state afflicted with a government that displays a gift for criminalizing practically everything. Seven participants in a Texasfishing tournament, including a guide, have been accused of lying about the size of their catch. Under a measure enacted a few years ago, each of them faces the prospect of ten years in prison and fines of up to $10,000.”
