Boat Reports
Hi All, The R.P. is on the way home! This trip was so awesome and fun but now Jerry Brown and the Line One Slayers are as ready as the crew to pull into port and call it a success! I wanted to mention some folks that made it possible for Jerry to put on such a super trip! West Marine of San Diego provided a 600 yrd spool of Line One 130# spectra and cool pair of angled long reach pliers. Daho Products, BHP tackle, Seeker Rods, Avet reels, Dharyl Shelbourne Photography and Line One also donated and provided previously mentioned goods to make this one of the best catches in history, Thanks a bunch! The entire Crew who were all stoked to be here and kicked major butt!, Captain Billy Santiago, Bill Cavanaugh, Dharyl Shelbourne, Eddie Felarca, Aaron Barnhill, Chris Garcia, James Wagar and Anthony Sardina. I will call it a trip of a lifetime! Adios for now!
P.S. Passenger Sam Lewis wanted to wish his sweet wife a happy B-day!
P.S.S. Passenger Chris Petersen Got his $2.00 hook back! |

travel thoughts(2) post this one please! |
Hello folks, we are currently making way toward San Diego.The weather is still a bit choppy, but all passengers and crew are still in very high spirits from yesterday.Very rarely do I write the nightly report, as i usually just make sure that some of the key highlights are included. However, in this case I had to do this one to include a big thanks! and much gratitude to the Royal Polaris crew.Historically, the R.P. crew has always been top notch and there have been a long line of great Crew members in the fleet, who have gone on to run their very own very successful operations after understudying years of moves under captains Frank Lopreste and Steve Loomis. These days are no exception as the R.P. crew is totally responsible for this catch. From the rigging of top shots on the way down to the great assistance around the rope, rudders, and propellers, to hooking baits, the crew was on it. From the cooks helping to fly the kites when we were to busy on deck. We really showcased just how much of a team we are, and i cant say enough, how proud i am of these guys. Not only as the Captain of such a trip, but as a friend and co-worker. I would also like to add a big thank you to those in our industry who make the other side happen. To our manufacturers of tackle and all related to the industry: Line One Industries, Blackwater, Penn , Accurate Mfg.,Izorline, Shimano, Calstar, Seeker, Aftco, Avet, Mustad, Owner hooks, High Seas mono crimps, and and to anyone who I didnt list, but you think your name should be in there, please include yourself and Thank You! For all the r&d to bring us such fine tackle to be able to achieve this great accomplishment. As for our last day, we don't even know how many more over 200 we threw down, as we were to busy to weigh them. We estimate another 5-7 over 200 and our 2 over three.That puts us at 25 to 27 over 200, and 9 over 300! We will be in a day early so if your not busy, please come see us at Fishermans Landing Friday morning at 8a.m.

Well folks;
What can we say? Except that other than the weather, everything on this trip has gone like a dream. When we recap the trip its such a surreal experience, we still cant believe it. We finished off today with 2 more over 300, which brings our trip total to a whopping nine! We had excellent fishing and we threw down 200 pound fish one after another. We don't even know how many 200's we threw down because we were to busy. We left for San Diego at dark and will be coming home early. We will add more as we travel. All the crew is beat!!! So until fingers and key board meet again, the R/p crew.

Bad Weather at Ranch Royal Polaris! |
|
Howdy Pard, Today bad weather kept Jerry Brown and the Line One Wranglers from hogtying the local tuna population any further! We are still here in Cattle County and Captain (Cow) Bill Santiago is chomping at the bit to continue the round up! With a few days of herding left our prospects are still looking golden! Rough Rider Ken Shaleen with his 204 and 307 pounders wanted the boys at Wonder Lake Sportsman's Club to prepare more BBQ's cause his saddlebags are full! Horseman Bob Garber after branding a 240 & 250 still had enough energy to send love to his daughter Tracy! Deputy Tom Blohm who bagged a 258 and a 325 was reported saying "Debbie Darlin1 I miss and love you lots!" So far Sheriff Brown has awarded $4100 to the wranglers of Royal Polaris for the capture of these menacing giant tuna! Tuna in tomorrow for more of the story! Bye! |
