I think it's time to ask Captain Quint how to handle this......
(Screeching of fingernails on chalkboard)
"You all know me. You know how I earn a livin'. I'll catch this bird for ya, but it ain't gonna be easy. Bad fish! Not like goin' down to the pond chasing neons or cory cats. This BARB will swallow you whole. Shakin'. Tenderizin'. Down you go. Now we got to do it quick. That'll bring back the hobbyists and it'll put all your local fish shops on a payin' basis. But it's not gonna be pleasant. I value my neck a lot more than three thousand bucks, Chief. I'll find him for three, but I'll catch him and kill him for ten. You've got to make up your minds. Gonna stay alive and ante up? Or want to play it cheap, be on welfare the whole winter. I don't want no volunteers. I don't want no mates. There's too many captains on this island. Ten thousand dollars for me by myself. For that, you get the head, the tail, the whole dam thing."
