LINE ONE TRIP HOME!!! Skipper Roy Rose tied up Frank LoPreste's Royal Polaris at Fisherman's Landing on a rainy Saturday morning February 6. Chartermaster Jerry Brown of Line One and 16 other anglers were aboard for the annual 18-day trip, as were a brace of cows, tuna over 200 pounds. Weather and sharks made fishing difficult at times, said Brown, making for an unusual trip. Skipper Rose weighed the best fish on the dock, on Fisherman's certified scales. Steve George of Ventura won first place, for a 238.6-pound yellowfin he caught on the kite. He said the fish was eligible because everyone had a full turn on the kite. George said he used the "double trouble" sardine rig, with 7/0 ringed Super Mutu hooks on 130-pound Momoi line and 130-pound Line One fluorocarbon. He fished with a Penn 80 N reel modified by Baker and Sheets, and a Calstar BTG 6460 XXH rod. "I got him in 45 minutes," noted George. "He came up on the bow." Royal Polaris regular Joe Amagrande of Monrovia won second place for a 189.6-pound tuna. Art Yoshida of Las Vegas was right behind Joe with his third-place 189-pounder.
