Cool pictures of a herring set
Not my pictures, I found them on the 'net. This is from last weeks herring fishery here in Sitka. The seiner is 58ft.

It was record set for the Sitka opener, at 1500tons. The previous record was 500tons. Reports say it took 4 days for the tenders to pump it out. Worth about $840,000. The Japanese like their roe.“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

timfish,
Yes, that was one of those times. There were a few more boats with sets nearly as large. The local processors can't handle that much at once. They openers are timed to prevent such things, but this time something went wrong. They didn't exceed the total harvest limit goal, they just caught too many that day. There was a 4 day break until the next opener. They're done now, and the boats are headed west towards more herring openers.“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts.

Re: Cool pictures of a herring set
Actually I dont think thats a full set. Ill re-count, but there appears to be a couple missing :-)"Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn't do, than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines.
