Looks innocuous enough laying on ice in a fish box but a few hours before...
half a dozen hardy handling fishermen...
ventured out into a squally St Ives Bay...
and with their handlines filled a few boxes of hard-won fish by hand...
then headed back to the safety of St Ives...
last one in...
was Gary on the Bethshan riding the heavy swell off Smeaton's Pier.
