COMMENT:
Line got cut midretrieval due to getting caught under boat.  The line was cut and retrieved from the opposite high flyer.  
The only scale we had onboard measured in pounds it was converted to kgs later.


COMMENT:
-Completed dats sheet went overboard therefore multiple measurements and all hook data is missing.  However all species as well as their indivdual hook number is accounted for.  
-We only had a scale onboard to measure in pounds it was later converted to


COMMENT:
-Did not have a scale that could measure in kgs therefore was converted from pounds (some weights might be missing or inaccurate due to scale used).  -Retrieval became somewhat hectic so hook data (besides animals hooked) was not recorded.

COMMENT:
- Missing fields due to being our first bottom longline cruise


COMMENT:
- Missing fields due to it being our first bottom longline cruise. 
An excessive amount of slack was given during retrieval causing the line to get caught.  It was cut mid set and retrieved from the opposite high flyer.


COMMENT:
- Missing fields due to this being our first bottom longline cruise
-Line was initially deployed too fast.  Gangions were too close together in the first half of the set.  Speed was finally slowed and proper placement of gangions occurred.

COMMENT:
- Cluster of gangions while setting which caused longer set times and longer mile
- 9 hooks were not deployed
- water quality taken after set was retrieved
- line caught in prop between hook 38-39 which caused longer soak time.  Began retrieving at 1351
