To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Gaffing dis- colours the flesh when dressed, and destroys the beauty of a fish before-hand, into the bargain, and may thus be avoided if you intend the dead prize to travel far. At the same time, gaffing is by far the more certain and safer plan ; for, at least, the other mode is a dangerous experiment, and I have known many good fish lost in the attempt. But, my good pupil, how you stand staring and gloating over the fallen victim ! Will you never have done ?
Herb. I was thinking how bravely h...e fought for his life. Tell me, is any other fish so strong?
Theoph. The only two that in the least degree approach to it are the carp and the barbel cer- tainly powerful fish ; but with any other, in com- parison with salmon, the difference really is no less than between hooking a straw, and drawing up from the bottom of the river a large post. No one who has not felt or seen a salmon in hand can form the least conception of its comparative power. Hook (even with snap-tackle and a spin- ning-rod) a jack of eight or nine pounds, at first he gives a shake or two, but still you may go on, wind, wind, till he is on shore; but hook a six pound salmon, and for ten or twenty minutes, at THE CAPTAIN'S YARN.
