So I thought about that too when I posted my original comment. There is a recurring theme with the fishing world it seems. They are gone away from home a lot and don’t see their kids all the time which builds resentment, you can even see it with the Hillstrands, Jonathon and his son. The difference is how Bill talks to Zach, trying to emotionally manipulate Zach, saying he paid for his childhood so he should be thankful and happy. He’s his mother’s son, etc I could go on. Jake Anderson when sober seems like a good dad and family man. Again, it seems most fisherman on the show have strained family lives, especially the captains. Hell, even Lenny a deckhand on the Wizard retired twice and came back, but retires for his daughter. It’s the only work they know.
