Clyde Bell: Price for fishClyde: So I started out with Dad with a fishing net, and trot lines. And we sold carp for a penny a pound, sunfish for 3 cents a pound, blue gills, and made money at it in those days because, all the railroaders working on the railroad, on the construction, they all lived in this neighborhood, and I knew them all. There were only getting 11 cents an hour and working 10 hour days. They got a dollar and a dime a day, and that's what they got. The Civil War Veterans got 50 cents a day pension. So [unintelligable] some of these guys is getting these $30-$40 an hour I'd like some of that today.
