"We had difficult weather," said Independence skipper Jeff DeBuys January 4. He was weighing the tuna from a nine-day adventure with 31 anglers to the southern banks.
"But even with the bad weather, we managed a couple of bunches of big fish, and while we lost a couple to pulled hooks, we had no tackle failures. The guys performed flawlessly."
James Garrison of Temecula won first place for a giant yellowfin tuna of 292 pounds. "He fought hard," said James. "I used a crimped hook."
Garrison said he baited a mackerel on a 6/0 Hayabusa hook tied to 100-pound Big Game and 130-pound Spectra on a Penn 50 SW reel and a Calstar 655 XXH rod.
Walt Bogue of Chico was second, for a 285-pounder. Walt fished with his wife Sandi, who was proud of her 130-pounder and the fact she was the only woman on the boat.
Walt fished a sardine on a 6/0 Hayabusa hook tied to 130-pound Soft Steel Ultra line and 130-pound Spectra backing on a Daiwa 50 reel and am unknown six and a half-foot rod.
Mike Bruer of Temecula won third place for a 278.7-pound tuna, and he also got a 238.8-pounder. He baited a sardine on a Hayabusa 6/0 circle hook tied to 130-pound Soft Steel Ultra and 130-pound Jerry Brown Spectra backing on an Accurate 50 W reel and a 660 XXH rod.

"He didn't circle; he came up close to the bow when we gaffed him," said Anderman. "He fought for an hour. He's my best fish ever."
Ed Otero of Palm Springs took a brace of yellowfin at 254 and 235 pounds. He fished a sardine on a 7/0 ringed Super Mutu, tied to 100-pound Izorline and 130-pound Izor Spectra on a Penn 30 reel and a Calstar 6465 XH rod.
