Whoever catches the fish gets to clean them?

That's a funny and age-old saying! It's often used to point out that:

* There's no free lunch: Even if you're good at catching fish, the responsibility of cleaning them still falls on you.

* Success has consequences: You might get the reward of a delicious fish dinner, but it comes with the less glamorous task of cleaning it.

Of course, people can make arrangements to share the responsibility of cleaning fish, but the saying highlights the natural connection between the reward and the effort involved.
