I was just curious, that's all.

Sure, we would all LOVE to get a 800-1000 lb. tuna, but they simply don't exist anymore.

As for the tipping, I ALWAYS tip the mate, because they really do work hard, particularly in making me look like I know what I'm doing!

Beleive it or not there are alot of people who do not tip for crap, I notice it more with people who can afford it, compaired to people who are every day working stiffs like us. I pay our mates a set rate for the day, then split the tip unless it is less that what I pay the mate. that way he is guaranteed at least some money for his hard work. That way he is pretty much making the 20% in case people do not tip correctly.
