I really built that to keep the family coming to the water.
And where we can enjoy ourselves on the water. With all the guys got the boats, we bringing in the stuff. Shrimps, crabs, fish. That's what we used to do. When did you start fishing? I'm 77. I started fishing and shrimping when I was 16. I got my commercial license. And I went to fishing then, making good money. And making good money out on that water. And I got that boat.
That's where I went on to work.
It's so peaceable. And then... I'm catching shrimps and fish and stuff. That's what I enjoy doing. And I love to feed people that enjoy seafood. And then put the word out, y'all get you some pans and come down and go on the boat and get all the shrimp you want. And we had sometimes 3,000 pounds of shrimps.

And we was in jail in less than 15 minutes.
