There were three freshly bleeding fish lying in a crim- son stained bed of snow. There were two burlap bags that looked as though they might have fish within their folds. It all looked profitable. Then there was the deep sea crab —a spider crab with arms 14 inches long, which one of the men caught on a fishing line. One man fished from a snow trimmed little halibuter, jigging the | bait up and down, hauling vicious- ly when he hooked a fish.
