    This is awesome! I was a deckhand for Skipper Eric back in my college days. I had zero experience and easily got seasick. I think the only reason he took me was I was good friends with his sons.
    After a week of getting sick my equilibrium reset to a steady sway and I felt better.
    Easily the hardest job I have ever had, 5am to 10pm every day when we were on the water. We would come back to town ever few days or so to sell. But if you weren’t fishing you weren’t making any money.
    Charlie, you picked the right guy to take you out. Eric is a class act and a patient teacher.

      To be honest I don't think it's either I think he might just sound like that from all the screaming he might have to do on the boat I don't know what it's like to be on a boat but I'm sure it's pretty noisy out there.

      We don't actually speak like that in WI - the tone of voice esp. , is exaggerated quite a bit from what - usually the older folks , esp. in Norwegian-heavy areas - sound like . In my experience anyways. If the younger ones do it, it's on purpose or our of habit from doing it on purpose. Not to mock anyone, but to celebrate anything unique and homey about our home. I'm in western WI, Dunn co. , and don't "get out " a lot tho, never have. So, this is very much just my experience.
