A number Of boys came up from

render the sucker homeless and make
it one of the incest fish going:
The sucker should never be split
down the back, but should be laid
upon its side on the table and cross
scored at least every quarter of an
inch with a sharp knife taking care
not to cut through the back bone.
Do this on both sides of the fish,
