Capt. Ron, you are blessed to have such a good crew. The boats that do the right thing, fish hard, and go the extra distance don't have to stoop to selling fish or other ways to fill in the pay gap. I bet that those same deck hands though talented don't work hard to start with. Tips like respect are earned not expected. I have known many talented crew members who got jaded and just did the minimum instead if grinding it out. They got comfortable and lost incentive.
All the best Captains and Crews that I have known LOVE TO FISH !
