Yeah, because what I need is a guy who couldn't be bothered once in three decades to get off his *** and catch a fish.
Here's my theory. Fishing is hard.
Really though, the area of the woods this guy chose to make home is really nothing more than what Mainers would call the suburbs. It's probably a 45min drive from the center of our capitol, Augusta. Hunting would have for sure gotten him attention. Even fishing though, he'd sooner or later get checked for a license, for sizes etc. I'm sure that lake is busy during summer and fall.
He was preserving his image.
