It took the artisan more than one year to realize his refined ideas on the old sculpture of the same name and finally present this one in front of the viewers. It displays a scene of a three-generation fisherman family busy fishing in coordinate and reaping a good harvest. All the three generations of fishermen are on the raft, the grandfather casting the net with a basket tied to his waist, the father busy rowing the boat, one of the grandson loading fish into a basket from the net while the other grandson catching fish with a diddle net. There are also a straw rain jacket, some fish and a crab cage hanging on the boat, with cormorants flying around or resting on the raft, creating a happy harvest scene.
