The Pursuit carrying the most Passangers?!!!! hahahahahaha thats pretty funny considering that on any day during the summer we on the VICTORY have at least 40 and almost always have 90 people (which I don't exactly like but the owner George Xenios must love it) on satrudays and sundays.
The issue of the Jackpot, you have to think about the crew, there are some bad ones and there are some that go out of the way to help you. Take me for an example, I am the only person on deck friday thru monday, I have to put up with 90 People on the weekends and I wake up to do this 4 days a week at 4:30 in the morning and don't get home until 7:30. Now after a day of busting my butt and standing on the tank for 6 hours straight, which is one of the most dullest jobs in the world, and at the end of the day while cutting fish saying here you go sir and getting nasty looks because I am calling them sir, well then i would love to make more than I do.
The 20% of the pot that we retain doesn't go a long way, we average 40 people in a 3 dollar jackpot and 20% of that is in the area of like 23 dollars?, well thats only 16 dollars for me and 17 for the captain. A lot of people don't like to get their fish cleaned and at our price of $.50 cents each, barracudda, and bass that doesn't go along way. And we won't change because we our an original old skool boat. It is nice to have someone you know that comes out a lot on the boat to win it once and a while and them to give it to you, but normally I don't expect that. Usually at the end of my 15 hour day and only making $40 dollars I am usually not happy, but I know that it was the winners decision. NOw when the winner decides to give us the pot for a free legitimate pass and I come off the boat with $150 dollars I'll especially remember that person next time. But when someone comes out and says yeah thanks for helping me out I'll take care of you later, and they win JP and don't get their fish cleaned and walk off the boat with an additon to their wallet and don't remember the person that was there the whole time helping their kid that is out there for the first time and has a
on their face and you don't even get a THANK YOU, that I don't like. But that is just the way that some people are brought up. Im only 15 and still have a lot to learn, but one thing that I have learned is that there are people that want to be liked and some that don't care when coming out on the boat.
It's there choice not ours,
