Shogun arrived at Fisherman's Landing July 31 after an eight-day trip to Alijos Rocks with 28 anglers and chartermaster Steve Talmadge of The Bay area on the Flash Sportfishing fifth annual trip.

Jon McGurran, former Californian and now from Owatonna, MN beat his dad out of first place by two tenths of a pound when skipper Norman Kagawa weighed the fish. Jon's tuna came in at 97.4 pounds. He said he tricked it with a sardine on a 4/0 ringed Super Mutu hook from Owner, tied on 40-pound Seaguar Premier fluorocarbon. He used 60-pound Line One spectra on an Accurate BX-2 500 reel and a Calstar 700 H rod, and got the job done in 50 minutes. He also won the Rollo Jackpot for the best yellowtail, a 45.2-punder, presented in the lineup shot by skipper Kagawa.

Dad Tim McGurran of Sunnyvale got a 97.2-pounder, good for second place, with the same setup as Jon used. "I had a great fight of an hour and ten minutes," he said. "He took me around the boat twice. I'd like to thank deckhand Andy for a fine long-distance gaff shot."

Tom Thompson of Alameda won third place for a 96.4-pounder, and Andrew McAdam of San Bernadino stood in the lineup photo with his honorable mention 101-pound tuna, caught on the kite.
