The last fishing day provided Red Rooster anglers with a good hit on wahoo, and chartermaster Richard Hightower used his time to capture a brace of big skinnies that won second place in the jackpot and the only spot in the trolling jackpot. The trip of ten days had 26 passengers and was sponsored by Newell and Yo-Zuri.

"Boy, there were lots of 20 to 35-pound tuna," said skipper Cates at H&M Landing October 18. "There were yellowtail at every spot, large and small, and wahoo were everywhere, too. Out last day was very good for dorado and wahoo on kelps.

Ric Wonders of Coronado used a home-made bomb in blue and silver to take the trip's biggest fish, a 51.4-pound wahoo. Ric said he tied it to 50-pound Izorline and 65-pound Izorline Spectra, on an Avet LX reel and a Super Seeker 6470 rod.

Richard "HT" Hightower, a rep for Seaguar, Newell, Yo-Zuri and Hayabusa won second place for a 47.6-pound wahoo that bit a Sea Strike 33 jig and won the trolling jackpot for a 50-pound skinny that ate a Yo-Zuri Bonatis jig. The chartermaster struggled to hang on to both big fish in the jackpot lineup.

Rex McDonald of Auburn, WA won third place for a 46.9-pound yellowtail from San Pablo.
