he registered the boat in an open group and was therefore allowed to catch 8 tons of cod.
Gustaf rowed his small boat from Senjahopen, and was only 5 minutes out to sea where he was fishing
Gustav said in a conversation with Aflafrettir that he rows with 10 nets and since his boat is very small

Gustav in his small boat caught a total of 8.4 tons in January, which he caught in 20 hauls.
