Does anyone else find it silly to hear a fishing guide call himself
"Captain"? Maybe I'm just being nitpicky but it sure seems
pretentious to me. I was just looking at a fishing tabloid in which
Scott Martin has a column. He is listed as "Captain Scott Martin."

Anyone at the helm of a boat is a "captain",
but not everyone at the helm is a "guide".

Not everyone at the helm is a "captain". If they are a guide, they may have
a Coast Guard "6 pack" license. OUVP is the designation. Takes time at the
wheel and a test.
