"Unbelievable, that's the word for today," said the report from Royal Polaris January 11. "Sorry about the updates, but low signal, means no updates. By the time you read this, we will be on our way to fish for reds. We are full, that's 7 years in a row. I don't know what to say, but that's good fishing in anybody's book. We had many anglers catch their first 200-pound Yellowfin, and many others catch their personnel best. We have a few old-timers on the trip, and J.T. Flannery (87years young) caught a 232-pound Yellowfin tuna. Now for the rest with 200 plus fish:

Sam Lewis 201, 203
Calvin Fujimoto 202
Walt Jeffrey 201, 202
Alan Otsuka 202
Ron Watanabe 220
Paul Boggs 220
Ron Watanabe 228
Jack Preston 206

"We had another 40 fish in the 180 to 198 pounds, just short of the 200-pound mark. Our last day of fishing we had an excellent day of Wahoo fishing, now that's the way to finish a trip off. We are headed north for now, but we will keep you posted on our upcoming events."
