re: Any weird experiences with game wardens?

When my daughter was small, maybe 3 she and I were sitting in the dock fishing. This was on Pickwick Lake TN right off the mouth of Yellow creek which is one of the busiest areas on the entire lake and may be of the entire river.
Also, it was 4th of July weekend and there were hundreds of boats running around.

A boat with 2 wardens that were in the middle of the lake (literally a half mile from the dock) saw that my daughter and I were fishing and came to the dock and asked if I had a fishing license.
I did and actually had a lifetime license. I told them such but it was in the house.
They made me take my daughter up to the house and get my license so they could see.
After they looked at it they told me to have a good day.

I asked if it was necessary to check my fishing license on the busiest day of the year? The just looked at me dumbfounded.
