There's always money behind all of these tuna boats. Half of the guys on georges own a body shop, seafood company, are a contractor or run a charter business. It's not woe is me. Then you have the next crop of kids whose parents own a company and are tuna fishing their way through college on mom and dad's dime.
The gillnetters and draggers out there with two beat up 130s and 2 swivel rod holders are about to have their cod season shut down and are the ones getting food taken out of their mouths
