Next to it a boy leaned against the railings, his rod and line dangling out over the floating garbage and the stream of brown, stinking waste which trickled from a pipe in the wall below.

At one point, one man, not Inupiat, posed beside the whale holding a small fishing rod, pretending for a camera that he had caught it on eight-pound line.

I can overcome a lot of things by using a longer rod with slightly heavier fluorocarbon line because fluorocarbon is far less visible.
