Law, my grand pa used to to tong oysters and fish crabs on a pa lon when he wasn't shrimpin all from the same 20' skiff with a 16 hp Briggs. He smoked 2 3 packs of cigarettes and could outwork a van full of sweaty mexicans. He was a beast. The stories he told me in the middle of the night in the latter part of his life made me realize how hard the old timers used to work.
