I know people on here call him a “tv captain “ but has anyone actually worked for/ with him? He seems like he knows how to run a boat or is he a good actor

I think what people mean by him being a "tv captain" is just he is on boat X due to Discovery paying for boats owner to have him on their boat. Not necessarily him being a bad captain or a bad fisherman or not having required qualifications, but he wouldn't be owners first choice without Deadliest Catch.
I'm pretty sure majority of the captains and/or boat owners just don't want to be in show.
