Not sure it still works that way. I think you get a vessel permit now and it covers everyone on board and limits the catch to 30 per boat.
In previous years you needed everyone on the vessel to have a license, but I believe each license holder could take a full limit of fish.
Lots of zeros come from guys like me who get the license "just in case" or keep renewing the license so as to not have it permanently revoked. I've heard the argument that folks get the license just to be able to keep more fish to eat, but this has to be very minimal.
