i wanna know how they split the money....

boat owner= % (if not the same as captain)
captain = % (if not the same as owner)
mate = %
anglers = %
taxes = %

83 is a hellofa white.

Nice job John!

I'd want to put that sucka on the wall.

They can have the fish. I would get a replica of it made. But your right it would definetly be hanging on the wall!!!!

Nice job John!

everyone is different but have seen:

boat owner= 10%
captain = 15-20% (if not the same as owner)
mate = 5%
anglers = rest%
taxes = too much%
