Art Taylor brought his Searcher in to Fisherman's landing August 31 after a five-day trip that visited the albacore grounds and Guadalupe Island.

"We got near-limits of albacore," said Art, "and then we went down to Guadalupe to try for some bigger fish."

Taylor said his anglers had a fish going much of the time at the island, but between the losses from the light tackle the anglers used to draw strikes and the tuna that were eaten by sharks the catch was smaller than it might have been otherwise.

Bill Villzemba of Castaic won first place for a 44-pound yellowfin and tied for third place for a 38.4-pound albie.

He said he bagged the yellowfin with a sardine on a 2/0 ringed Super Mutu hook on 40-pound Big Game line, with a 50-pound Seaguar leader. He used a Torium 20 reel and a six and a half-foot Calstar rod.

Roger Ulander of Mission Viejo won second place for a 40.8-pound albacore, and Doug Nance of San Diego tied for third with a 38.4-pound yellowfin.
