LOL, nice. But, a lot of what you wrote doesn't just apply to charter captains either. I'm a USCG Captain myself, but i've never taken a charter before. However, I run into those same scenarios every trip. I take friends sometimes that haven't been on the water too much, and when they get excited, it's like a human tornado comming through the boat when a big fish gets hooked up. The clicker on the reel is SCREAMING, they are SCREAMING, and then I have to start SCREAMING so everyone will shut up long enough to get the belt on who's next, get the clicker off, clear the lines, and get rockin'. I feel like a kindergarden teacher sometimes out in the boat, and i'm not even getting payed for it. LOL But, that's fishing. [
