NEED A FEW THOUSAND MORE CRAB.
WE'RE UP TO THE NORTHERN AREA.
THIS IS OUR ORIGINAL STRING.
WE'VE SET IT BACK TWICE ALREADY,

Narrator: AFTER ROLLING THE DICE
ON HOT FISHING TO THE NORTH,
CAPTAIN SIG HANSEN
IS STILL RAKING IN THE CRAB.
CRAB FISHING LIKE THIS
IS PARADISE. MAKING MONEY.
FOR NOW, I'M JUST VERY HOPEFUL
