Brian Kiyohara brought American Angler back to Pt. Loma Sportfishing July 22 after a Sport Chalet five-day trip with chartermaster Brad LeMoine. He liked the way the fish have been biting recently. The 26 anglers aboard had a nice mixed catch of tuna and yellowtail.

Matt Fischer of San Diego won first in the jackpot for a 40.6-pound bluefin. He said it came on a sardine and a 3/0 Hayabusa hook. He used 30-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon leader and 25-pound Ande line on a Daiwa 30 reel and a Seeker six and a half-foot rod.

"It was a good fish," remarked Matt, "on light line."

Bill Blankenship of Pomona won second place for a 39.2-pound bluefin. Ron Hitada of Diamond Bar got third place for his 36.8-pound bluefin tuna.
