A GOOD DAY AT DOKADO. 
93 
we never had one of these mighty captures. 
Oddly enough, my first day, packed full of 
disaster, might have been the best, had all gone 
well. On other occasions we had to work for 
fish, often to work hard, and we considered we 
had done well if we got a fish or two apiece. 
But as compensation for numbers, we had size. 
Our smallest fish weighed eighteen pounds, and 
we got three of forty pounds and over, quite 
exceptional good fortune. And after all, four 
fish averaging thirty-five pounds should satisfy 
anyone.
