Michael's ship mate, Mike Finney on deck of the "Agave"

.

We would walk across the deck to get another fish… and many times we would fall down. The ocean swells would send the fish pitching back and forth across the deck. The fish were big, the deck was slippery, and the swells made it hard to balance and you would get knocked over. Then you would crawl through the fish and get knocked around by these gigantic fish as you attempted to move across the deck.
