"Back into the water and makes him eat another string of worms as punishment for being a carp." "You with your old dead minnows!" exclaimed Tod, giving Dave a push that sent him staggering. "Last time we went, all you caught was a dogfish and one starved bullhead. There's more real fish that'll bite on worms than on any other bait. I've taken trout and even black bass.
They often warned him to beware of the troops of dogfish, which could seize the best swimmer, and draw him down, and devour him; but such was not Jürgen's fate.
They are like flat-sided slugs, slugs of spirit, who raise an enquiring snout, like the snout of a dogfish, into the air. They crawl upon their bellies in a way that would be tedious to describe to the general reader and unnecessary to describe to the enquiring specialists. They go over the ground with the sliding speed of active snails.
But do you think it disturbed your old friend, Peter Brown? No, sir! He never winked an eye. "By Jove!" he sings out, staring at that dogfish as if 'twas a gold dollar. "By Jove!" says he, "that's the finest specimen of a Labrador mack'rel ever I see. Bait up, Stump, and go at 'em again."
What we started to git in the fust place was jest a wife for one of us that would keep things shipshape, and now " The withering look of scorn that Perez bent upon him caused him to hesitate and stop. Captain Perez haughtily marched to the door. "Eri," he said, "I ain't goin' to waste my time talkin' to a a dogfish like him. He ain't wuth it."

Evidently this lady's imagination was as vivid as it was suggestive. "I say, Miss Fregelius," he said, "you don't put things very pleasantly." "No, I am afraid not, but then drowning isn't pleasant.
Wadreds nodded and went on his way, "I won't mind, and I'd just as soon not have to handle any dogfish that swallow lobster-pots as a habit, but if I do I'll come to you for help." All in all, Colin thought Woods Hole the most interesting place in which he had ever been. Unlike other summer resorts, a spirit of earnest vigor pervaded the little settlement.
Here, with hand kerchiefs at nose, they bend over a heap of eel-grass, entangled in which is a dead skate, so oddly accoutred with two legs and a long tail, that they mistake him for a drowned animal. A few steps farther, the ladies scream, and the gentlemen make ready to protect them against a young shark of the dogfish kind, rolling with a life-like motion in the tide that has thrown him up.
Why, at the last International Fishery Congress a speaker told of a plague o' dogfish which not only attacked lobsters, but swallowed pots an' all." Colin looked incredulously at his friend. "That's the story," the other said; "you don't have to believe it. I don't." "But after all, a dogfish is a shark, and aren't sharks the most vicious creatures o' the sea?"
"How is it that you go alone?" said I; "is there so much glory in the capture of mackerel and dogfish that you will allow no one to share it?"
