It my understanding that never fished means they did not fish and on all the charters I have been on, neither the skipper or the deck hand fished, they may have given a customer a hand, but they did not have their own fishing rods.
On a tuna charter, once the bag limit was reached for the customers, no more fish were taken, so for 5 customers it was 10 fish, if you included the skipper and deck hand, we could have had 14 fish, but this did not happen.
So a boat with 5 customers and the skipper/slash deckhand could potentially have caught 21 snapper over 40cm even though 5 were fishing and the amount kept should be 15. Am I reading this correctly?
