My dad really did work on a shark boat, I think they caught mainly tiger sharks. He would be gone for weeks at a time and come back smelling horrendous, like a shark that has been rotting out in the sun for a week. His skin was always a mess too because he often had to grab hold of the shark as they were bringing it in and the sharks skin is like sand paper. I asked him if he felt guilty about it and he said it gives him nightmares sometimes. I think he did that for about a year.
