Quotation from: Tales of the Fish Patrol

a man of illegal fishing, it was necessary to catch him in the act
with all the evidence of the crime about him--the hooks, the lines,
the fish, and the man himself. This meant that we must take Big
Alec on the open water, where he could see us coming and prepare
for us one of the warm receptions for which he was noted.
