Gulf Coast Oil Spill

My Dad made a living fishing on commercial menhaden boats in the Gulf of Mexico years ago when I was in high school and college. It's not uncommon for men in this part of Virginia to go south and fish at the plants based in Louisiana. I have many friends and family whose livelihoods depend on a good fishing season down in the Gulf. My thoughts and prayers go out to them. An old friend of mine who is a captain of a Menhaden boat (also known as Pogey boats) was interviewed for this clip.
