http://www.fishingvideos.comJoe Crisci docked Qualifier 105 at Pt. Loma Sportfishing July 25 after a week out on the water with chartermaster Dale Myer of Concord and the Coastside fishing club. The group found success at Alijos Rocks and Cedros Island, and picked up a nice supplement of red rockfish on the way home.
"We had good fishing at The Rocks the first day," said Myer, "and we trolled for wahoo the second morning. We spent two days at Cedros in a wide-open yellowtail bite. We got one huge yellow at The Rocks."
Tony Koregelos of Fair Oaks was the luck man who got the big yellow. It weighed 56 pounds on the Pt. Loma scales, with a shrunken belly after spawning. He said he got it with a sardine on 30-pound line.
"I thought it was a yellowfin until we saw it," he said. "It fought for 20 minutes on my eight-foot rod."
Ross Roberts of Moss Beach won first place for a 104.4-pound tuna.
"He only took about 100 yards of line, and then he went down and sulked for an hour and a half," he said.
Roberts baited a sardine on a 2/0 Owner hook and 40-pound P-Line. He used a Penn 4/0 reel and a Seeker 6465 rod.
Jordi Hibner of Campbell won second place for a 75-pound yellowfin tuna. She's 17 and going to attend the University of Oregon on scholarship to study biology, after running cross country at Branham High in Campbell. The tuna was her best fish ever, she said.
John Koregelos (Tony's brother) won third place for a 64.8-pound tuna. Dean Graham posed with his daughter Grace, 9, and a wahoo.
