Quotation from: Tales of the Fish Patrol

Written by: Jack London


"There's no getting around it," Charley said one morning. "If we
can only get alongside it's an even toss, and there's nothing left
for us but to try and get alongside. Come on, lad."


We were in the Columbia River salmon boat, the one we had used
against the Chinese shrimp-catchers. Slack water had come, and as
we dropped around the end of the Solano Wharf we saw Big Alec at
work, running his line and removing the fish.
