Round 2
Humans are the most ingenious when pushed to the edge, and you can never tell what someone is going to come up with when everything seems lost, but these nets had not been designed with “bear fishing” in mind, however, and it was clear that they could break with the pressure of a couple of heavy bear cubs. With little time and few options left, the fishermen plunged their nets into the cold water.
Round 2
The First Bear
The scooping effort seemed to be working to some extent, but even with their combined strengths, the fishermen were struggling to lift the cub who already weighed more than a grown adult man. Then there was the actual cub’s behavior, being terrified of the net and perhaps suspecting that these men were trying to capture him for all the wrong reasons. Even if they did manage to get the bear on board, he could turn on the humans in terror.
