Qualifier 105 returned to Pt. Loma Sportfishing under owner John Klein's hand on November 25, following an 11-day trip with 15 anglers called "Cowboy's Tru Tuna Roundup," with chartermaster Gary "Cowboy" VanderLyke of Escondido.

"It was a little slow," said Cowboy, "but just about everyone had a personal best fish. There were 14 cows."

Dean Archer of Sunset beach won first place for his 305-pound supercow. He said he took it on a sardine and a 6/0 Gorilla hook. He used 100-pound Big Game fluorocarbon, 130-pound Big Game line and 130-pound Line One Spectra on a Penn 50 W reel and a Sabre 655 XXH rod.

"It took an hour and a half," he said. "My best one before was only about 100 pounds. This one ran, sounded and fought deep before he came up on the bow."

Dominic Carvoza of Lakeside won second place for a 278-pound tuna. He got it with a mackerel on a 6/0 ringed Super Mutu hook tied to 80-pound Big Game line on 130-pound Power Pro Spectra. He used a Penn 30 W reel and a Seeker 6364 XXXH rod.

"He fought for two hours," said Dennis. "My best fish."

Steven Brooks of Camarillo won third place for a 247.7-pounder. He bagged it with a sardine on a 9/0 ringed Eagle Claw hook on 100-pound Big Game line and 130-pound Line One Spectra on a Sheets-treated Penn 50 W reel and a self-wrapped Super Seeker 2 x 4 rod.

Ron Volmer pulled in a 216-pounder. Gayle Wayne caught a 244 and a 216-pound tuna. Chris Arbuchon and Jeff Bracey both had 213-pounders, and Bracey had a 216.8-poundf tuna as well. Chris Fraser had a 212 and Phil Lisi got a 205-pound tuna.
