It's funny, I asked him why he likes it so much, as he was working his butt off, sweating like a pig, and smelly. He said "as long as the captain knows what he's doing, then I feel like the harder I work, the more we'll catch, the more fun I'll have, the more money the captain will make." What he was trying to say, is that for him, there's an immediate payoff for the hard work, and that's not always the case. For him, it's the feeling of instant gratification.

I have a deviated septum, I have a very weak sense of smell, which I assume is an asset. He never complains about the smell, never even mentions it.
