Shauna Barton for Izorline and David Choate for Accurate were the chartermasters aboard the Intrepid when she returned for a ten-day trip January 5.

\"We spent four days down on the lower banks,\" Intrepid captain Kevin Osborne said after docking at Point Loma Sportfishing January 5, 2010. \"We also spent a day on the Ridge for some wide-open yellowtail, and maybe a potential world record grouper.\"

Osborne plans on submitting two potential world records: a Junior All-Tackle record for 16-year old Jeff Tedmori and his 206.4-pound yellowfin tuna, and chartermaster David Choate\'s 125.6-pound gulf grouper.

The ten-day Accurate/Izorline charter returned with 12 tuna over 200 pounds total.

Javier Salguero of Inglewood won first place after a two and a half hour fight with a 291.4-pound yellowfin. Javier fished a sardine on a 4/0 Owner super Mutu hook, 100-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon, a Daiwa 50 two-speed reel and a Calstar 768 rod.

\"We were catching 80 to 100-pounders when I hooked it,\" Javier said.

Dane Barriault of Lake Havasu won second place for a 261.2-pound tuna. He said, "It just about spooled me.\" Dane used a 4/0 Owner hook on 130-pound Izorline, an Avet 50 reel and a Super Seeker 2x4 rod. He also caught a 218-pounder.

Bill Jamison of Bakersfield caught his best fish, a 260.2-pound tuna, good for third place in the jackpot. Bill fished a sardine on a 6/0 Owner hook, 130-pound Blackwater top-shot, an Accurate 50 reel and a Super Seeker 6463 XXXX rod.

Honorable mention goes to Terry Williamson of Pine Mountain, CA, who caught a 264.2-pound tuna. Terry used a 5/0 Owner circle hook, 100-pound JB Line One spectra, 100-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon, a Penn 30 reel and an unknown rod. Terry also caught a 201-pound cow.

\"It was 80 degrees that day,\" Terry said, \"and my buddy just caught a dorado. So I threw a bait out there trying to catch a dorado!\"

Sixteen-year old Jeff Tedmori of Newport Beach caught a 216.4-pound tuna on the kite as well as his potential Junior All-tackle record 206.4-pound tuna. Jeff flylined a sardine on a 6/0 Owner Super Mutu hook, 130-pound Seaguar Premier line, an Accurate BX2-50 reel and a Super Seeker 6463 XXX rod.

Jimmy Biondo of Valencia caught a 209.4-pound yellowfin on a 6/0 Owner circle hook, 130-pound

Seaguar, an Accurate 30 W reel and a Super Seeker XXH rod.

Nicholas Rekrut caught two cows: a 237 and a 202-pounder.

Alex Reknut caught a 201-pound yellowfin.

Chartermaster David Choate\'s potential World Record gulf grouper was caught using a Mustad hook, 130-pound Seaguar using Sato Crimps and Jerry Brown glue, 100-pound JB Line One Hollow Spectra, an Accurate ATD 30 reel and a Super Seeker 6463 XXX rod.

\"You don\'t have time to click into a harness,\" David said after describing getting bit by a grouper.
