The Rules

I want to see two senators duel with a couple of trout as weapons, whoever gets knocked down first loses.

No shoving, the knockdown must be accomplished with the trout and the trout alone.

Just two grown adults slapping each other with fish.

Sounds like IRC

See also Monty Python, which is what I'm pretty sure inspired the trout slappery on IRC channels.

And at the end a nice fish fry and everyone's bellies are full.
