The boat rolls like a roller coaster ride on 8-foot swells that would cost most landlubbers their lunch. But Toftey barely seems to notice.

Along with two helpers, he quickly picks the slender foot long fish out of the twine and plops them into bins. The men slowly work their way down the net as the bins fill with dozens of fish, in a slow but steady rhythm. They hardly speak amid the sounds of the boat's motor, wind and waves.
