 * He doesn't seem to be in a position to clean it up, mind. — Crisco 1492 (talk) 10:19, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Found it- the bamboo is for a shallow dipnet with a split bamboo frame (a “callie”), which is used to scoop up fish. The fish are attracted by throwing chum in the water. The sharks have eaten his fish, and are in a feeding frenzy. They'll clean it up for him  Xanthomelanoussprog (talk) 15:05, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
