Loma Sportfishing September 1. "This was an excellent trip, as good as any I've been on for many years. We fished at Alijos Rocks and Cedros Island. We had several South American missionaries on the trip, and a military man who's going back to Iraq in October for his third deployment, so I gave him a rod and reel." Gunnery Sgt. Gary Nordby of Owatonna, MN works in intelligence. He was stoked with the Yellowtail and Tuna he'd caught on the trip, and with his new outfit. He posed with a dandy Yellowfin Tuna. "It was bitin'," said skipper Joe Crisci. "we had good fishing on tuna and Yellowtail." Jim Dekay of Downey won first place for a 111.4-pound Yellowfin Tuna he took on 40-pound line.

DeKay said he baited a sardine on a 3/0 Owner Super Mutu hook tied to 40-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon and 40-pound Big Game line, with 65-pound Power Pro Spectra backing on an Accurate BX-2 500 N reel and a Calstar 700 M rod.
