What fish?

A joke from my dad:

A fisherman with two ice chests full of fish was stopped by a game warden after leaving a river well known for its fishing. The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?"

"Naw, my friend, I don't have a license," said the man. "These here are my pet fish."

"Pet fish?" asked the game warden.

"Yep. Every night I take these fish down to the river and let 'em swim 'round for a while. Then I whistle and they jump right back into this ice chest and I take 'em home."

"I don't believe that for a second! Fish can't do that!"

The man looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, "It's the truth. I'll show you. It really works."

"Okay, I've got to see this!" exclaimed the game warden.

The man poured the fish into the river and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to him and said, "Well?"

"Well, what?" asked the man.

"When are you going to call them back?"

"Call who back?"

"The fish!"

"What fish?"
