And it's 25 pots connected to each other.

Okay.

With a buoy called a hawk on either end.

So it's like a buoy with a five-foot piece of PVC pipe through it with a weight at the bottom and then a flag at the top.

What's the term?

We call it a hawk.

I have no idea.

Okay.

I've always wondered because like a long lining, like deep sea long lining, they call it a bird.

You know, we call them hawks.

I don't know why.

Yeah, yeah.

Um, but yeah, there's 75 foot in between each crab pot, each pots on snap gear.

So, you know, it's got like a, almost like a 24 inch leader basically with a, like a metal clip.

And then every 75 foot on the main line, there's like an overhand loop tied in the main line.

And so each clip gets clipped onto the loop.

Um, so when we go to pick up the crab pots,

we actually pick the entire row up, stack them on the boat.

And then, you know, like I put the line on the winder and the winders hauling it into a barrel, the barrel.

I have a piece of PVC pipe, you know, screwed to the side of the barrel.
