my uncle recently passed away and he was in an episode about the cape breton moose. I think it is from 1989 - Managing our moose, would love to see a copy
When I was young I used to ask why they were using a prong so much. These fish could get hit couple times before they were processed. Time have changed.
I remember when I was a boy and the prong was used to move the fish around. I often wondered then whey this was done rather than using baskets to lift the fish from the boats. I am sure it reduces the quality by pitch forking every cod like in the film.
I pronged more than one boat load of fish. I remember one time the fish plant owner and this guy from Boston came by where my dad and I were offloading our catch and remarked on the poor quality with the prong. He said that it wasn't allowed in Boston. My dad replied that as long as we were getting 3.5 cents a pound, we'll prong it. My grandfather would take his catch on the schooner right to the Boston market and fetch a much better price.
Amazing. A great reminder of the good old days.
Love these shows,keep em coming!!!!

Brings back a lot of good memories. Those days are gone now and all we can look forward to is the few fish that the Feds allow us to get.

My grandfather and father and his grandfather fished here.
