Hours of fishing in afternoon rounds are from 12:01 PM to 4:00 PM. Numbers ranging from 1 to 5 will be placed in a sealed container. During each round of fishing a number will be drawn from the container and that number will determine the minimum number of sailfish that must be released to move on to the next round. Drawn numbers can only be used once. A team must advance through all 4 rounds in order to win the pot. In the final round, should multiple boats release the required number of fish, the team that releases the most fish in that round will win. Ties will be determined by whichever team released their last fish first. If there is no winner the pot will rollover into the next leg of the Quest series.
