than a hundred tons. I worked in the commercial crab fishery back in the early 2000s and I was starting off as a deckhand and I guess I was still a deckhand. I was a laborer. I when I started off I was down in the hole, icing and stacking crabs and thousands of them as they would come down into the hole and then I was up on deck after that and I was measuring crab, offloading the pots, baiting the pots and I never threw pots. That's one thing I didn't do was throw them because that's the most dangerous part and you want your most experienced guys doing that because let's face it these pots, I don't know if anybody's ever thought about how crab or cod before. I'll tell you right now just let me reset. First set up on the boat back in the day was we went at the first of the season, we went out with 200 pots.
