"What an amazing day," said Royal Polaris' report for March 24. "We arrived at Clarion at 03:00 hours. Bait fishing was wide open and we were done in 20 minutes. We released approximately 25 Yellowfin tuna in the 60 to 75-pound class. We kept 5 fish, the largest at 206 pounds, caught by John Jeffreys. We had two at 180, one at 150, and one at 115 pounds.

"The rest of the day was spent catching limits of Wahoo for all aboard. At 17:15 hours the group called a meeting and unanimously voted to go home regardless of the options given to them. Needless to say all aboard had a wonderful day in the flat calm beautiful weather."
