Doesn't really surprise me. A lot of the observers are young kids not too far out of school, who are on a boat with 5-6 seasoned fisherman. If the pressure alone doesn't get to them, I'm sure that a captain or two has some "advice" for them. I'm sure that there are normal procedures on most boats that look legit that are actually not.
In my opinion, there should be 2 observers on every boat. That way, at least they feel like they aren't completely alone on the boat.
