...well, this discussion seems to be going a little downhill, playing with grammar, word meanings, etc., so I'll make it go even further down...
We were in Sitka the last part of July and as we stopped in each spot for the different species of fish we were targeting, the captain would tell us the name of the fishing hole we were in. Such as Pine-Tree Peninsula hole, King Salmon Fast Limit hole, Bass hole, etc. It came time to go catch our halibut on the first day and they were referring to them as "butts". (Hali-Butt), etc. We arrived at the spot out in the ocean, anchored up and started fishing. My wife asked the captain what the name of this hole was.
His reply?...."We are in the butt-hole".
True story.
On a side note, that was my first trip to Alaska and Sitka. We are in the process of making our plans and reservations for 2022 and 2023 now. I feel bad that I waited so long to go. My wife loved it and we love all the fish we brought back.
