They bless the fleet in this shrimp capital of the world every September and, take it from Captain Clyde Davidson, the fishermen can use the blessing. It's been a good year so far for the shrimpers, but when you're operating far out in the Gulf of Mexico, you never can be sure. Captain Clyde Davidson looks at the Louisiana shoreline as he prepares to take his 60-foot shrimp boat into the Gulf of Mexico for one of many fishing trips.
