Mark Pisano brought his Independence home to Pt. Loma Sportfishing November 10 after an eight-day trip with 29 anglers aboard. Their story was much the same as others recently. The fishing was good, and the catch was mixed species, typical for fall eight and ten-day trips.

Jim Kostelecky, pictured of Pasadena won first place for his 79.8-pound yellowfin tuna. He said it bit on his chrome Salas 6X Jr. jig tied to 40-pound Big Game line and 80-pound Izorline spectra. He fished with an Avet JX reel and a Seeker 875 rod.

Tom Kroes of Tipton won second place for a 54.8-pound tuna, and posed the Jim. Terry Watkins of San Diego won third place for a 48-pound dorado, but failed to appear for the jackpot shot.
