Nets and fish.

The trap boats can haul insane amounts of tonnage, pending market demands on a given day. On this boat, the fish are pulled from the sea by this net, called the bull net, which is attached to a winch and is roughly 4ft across. The bull net is guided above the deck by hand and emptied, where the fish are then sorted by the crew prior to arrival in port.
