CATCHING CODFISH ABOARD A NORTHERN VESSEL
A vivid portage of a cod fishing trip describes preparation and gear at the rail and bulwark. The narrative details lines, cleats, the “gurey kid” net, and two large butts for cod livers as fishermen battle to haul in a catch amid the spray. The account follows the gripping moment of a successful filet and the intense process of beheading, gutting, and cleaning the fish on deck with precise, though graphic, steps.
