Mark Pisano docked his Independence at Pt. Loma Sportfishing August 31 after a six-day trip with 22 anglers, the Stevens Brothers Ventures. Grant and Brent Stevens were chartermasters. There was no jackpot.

"Tuna fishing was great," said Mark, for mixed bluefin and yellowfin. We got some nice yellowtail at Benitos, too, but the seals were bad there. Cedros yellows were biting."

There was a biggest fish, however, and it appeared to be the best albacore of the year, a 47.8-pound longfin caught by Frazer Donald of Ketchum, ID on a sardine and a Mustad 91450 hook in the 3/0 size. He used a rig from the boat, with 40-pound Izorline, an Avet JX reel and a Seeker Black Steel 6470 rod.
