Gary Teraoka chartermastered the 10  ?-day Accurate trip aboard the American Angler that docked at Pt. Loma Sportfishing January 17. Brian Kiyohara was skipper, and numerous sponsors, including FishingVideos.com, contributed to the prizes given out. It was a good trip and resulted in four cow tuna along with plenty of smaller yellowfin. The big fish, a 287-pounder, won first place for a Mark Johnson of Ventura. "My best fish," he said, "and it fought for an hour and a half. It was a good fight, and it ended up on the starboard bow." Johnson baited a mackerel on a 6/0 ringed Owner Super Mutu hook. He used 130-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon and 130-pound Izorline spectra on an Avet 50 reel and a Calstar 77465 H rod. Joe Machado of San Diego, well-known driver of a bait boat, won second place for a 246-pound tuna he bagged with a 5/0 Mustad ringed Demon circle hook. He fished with 100-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon leader and 130-pound Izorline Spectra on an Accurate ATD 30 reel and a Calstar 770 XXH rod. Jeff Norwood of Tacoma, WA won third place for a 210-pounder. He said it bit on a sardine and a 6/0 ringed Super Mutu on 130-pound Seaguar Premier fluorocarbon and 130-pound Line One spectra. He used an Avet 30 W reel and a Super Seeker 2x4 rod. The fourth cow was a 206-pound yellowfin caught by John Yarbrough of Parker, AZ. It was a kite fish that took a double sardine rig. Yarbrough used an Accurate 50 reel to beat the fish in 45 minutes.
