Mark Mayeda of Huntington Beach fished aboard the ladies charter on Islander with owner-skipper John Conniff, and did very well, taking first and third places.

Mark said he got the big one, a 38-pounder, on a sardine pinned on a 2/0 Mustad standard hook, with 20-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon leader, 20-pound P-Line, a Trinidad 20 reel and a Calstar 800 M rod. His third-place albacore weighed 36 pounds.

Barbara Buckner of Dana Point won second place for her 36.8-pound albacore.
