Royal Star Fish Report

3-2-2009
Royal Star

Today's photo's feature long range veteran and tagging enthusiast Doug Taylor who some of you may recall from February 2008 as the first angler to my knowledge ever to release a yellowfin tuna over three hundred pounds. Doug's persistence and enthusiasm for giant yellowfin tuna fishing has led to many great trips on board Royal Star in the past as well as several other big long rangers. From Clipperton to the Revillagigedos Doug has been a memorable component of many long range adventures. In closing for the day, I want to put a broad call of gratitude out to Doug for the fantastic custom T-shirts he has provided for anglers and crew alike on most of the voyages I have shared with him. Thanks Doug for being a part of so many good times and I look forward to the next twenty years.

Not to fear however as the report was resent yesterday and posted in it's proper order. All's well. Also, today's photos should grab your attention. I spent a few minutes in the water taking shots from a...... Read More
