The 2011 report in question, titled: "Annual Management Report for the Commercial and Subsistence Shellfish Fisheries of the Aleutian Islands, Bering Sea and the Westward Region’s Shellfish Observer Program, 2009/10"

Two lines, one of which reads "Kathleen Herring," and the second of which reads "Melissa Salmon,". The image is not spliced together from two screenshots.

    I'm not an expert but Old Joe Herring could perhaps have dibs on a particular herring-hiding shoal, and maybe his nets are knotted in a finer gauge than those made and used by Herbert Cod over by the reef. Whereas Charlie Tuna heads out to the deep and uses a hook and really strong line.

    Or maybe Old Joe actually brings in mostly carp, but he LOOKS like a herring.
