Captain Kirk expects to put fish in the boat. Nobody likes getting skunked, and he works hard to make sure you have a real shot at catching fish.

If, despite a full honest effort and safe, fishable conditions, no fish are boated, you will not owe the remaining balance for the trip.

No Fish. No Balance Due.
