Many of the halibut boats are rlggins: to go trolling while others will retain their putting on tuna scar and going south for the summer.

Cert Hanson, who recently found the skull of a strange fish hooked onto the gear while fishing hall'but on the 'boat Borgund, so far has been unable to have it identified although it is believed to be some type of shark family. Bert is determined not to let the specimen get out of his hands because of experiences with other strange marine life wh'ch lie has caudt before. One of these now rests in the Smithsonian Institute at Washington and another In the provincial museum at Victoria. Both, he says, were sent away for identification and he was unable to get them back. He feels that if they are worthy of display, they should go into the museum of Northern British Columbia. .
