These guys R in their glory and making it while they can....some sports R willing to pay more....prior to being on the show they would get 1200 for a day of cod fishing....It is no different going to florida and paying 1200 to go yellowtail snapper fishing....when ya can pay 45 bucks for the same thing.
Congrats jim on your son enjoying himself and remembering the good time that he had fishing and being with UUUUU...
....when chartering I always made sure the kids had a great time and always mentioned to the parent or guardian to let the kid handle the first fish.
