Jeff DeBuys docked Independence at Pt. Loma Sportfishing October 7 after the 10-day Fishin' Fools Tackle charter with Dennis Evans as chartermaster.

"Alijos Rocks continues to pump out excellent fishing," said Jeff, "and it's also very good for wahoo. We had very good fall fishing; a banner trip."

Two big tuna came on the kite. One weighed 118 pounds, and the other was a 114-pounder taken by Dennis Saylors.

Ken Aiso of Long Beach won first place for a 107-pound tuna he got with a sardine on a 5/0 Eagle Claw hook tied to 50-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon and 60-pound Izor Spectra backing on an Avet HX reel and a Calstar 74656 XL rod.

Karl Moreman of Rancho Santa Fe won second place for a 104-pounder, and Tony O'Connell of Santa Monica got third place for a 101-pound Alijos Rocks yellowfin tuna.
