FIVE OVER 100!!! Jeff DeBuys brought Independence home to Pt. Loma Sportfishing July 16 after a good run to Alijos Rocks and The Ridge. He reported 68-degree water at The Rocks, which makes prospects look very good there, and a fantastic Yellowtail bite at the top of The Ridge, for fish he called "18 to 50-pounders." He had five Yellowfin over 100 pounds in the catch. The two best fish came on the boat's kite outfit: two sardines on 3/0 ringed Mutu hooks, with 60-pound Seaguar fluorocarbon and 80-pound Line One Spectra on an Avet 50 reel and a Super Seeker 6364 XXXXH rod. Rick Henderson of Southgate won first place for a 110-pound Yellowfin, interviewed by dock reporter Bill Roecker. "Don't forget to put the rail down, too," said Henderson, "because I used that a lot!" Glen Barnes of Covina won second place for a 109-pounder. "He killed me," remembered Barnes, "after that I was done for the day, and I'm still suffering." Walter Forman of Torrance won third place for a 107-pound Yellowfin. Skipper DeBuy's cousin, Jeff Young of San Diego, got the trip's only Wahoo, a 57.8-pounder, on a bait and monofilament. It was the first fish of the trip, said DeBuys, and set off a frenzy of Marauder-wielding trollers, but no more were caught. The other notable fish of the trip was the 49.8-pound Yellowtail caught by Sam Esposto of Burbank, on a Tady 4/0 jig in scrambled eggs color, on 50-pound line. Esposto and Young joined the winners for a lineup photo.
