Intrepid arrived at Pt. Loma Sportfishing September 13 under Kevin Osborne's hand, following an eight-day adventure down The Ridge with 24 fishermen on the Angler's Choice charter with Luc Ofield as chartermaster. "A nice trip," said skipper Osborne. "We took two days going down The Ridge and spent another day fishing on kelps for wahoo and dorado. Then we came back up and spent another day at 150 miles on school yellowfin. We ended up with near-limits on the combined species, and the weather was very pleasant." Osborne commented that he saw water temperatures of up to 78 degrees down below.

Terry Wehrly of El Cajon won first place for his husky 55.8-pound wahoo, his career-best fish of that type. He said it bit on a red and gold Raider jig tied to 40-pound Soft Steel Ultra line and 80-pound Western Filament spectra. He used a Trinidad 30 reel and a Calstar 700 MK rod to whip his skin in about ten minutes.

Danny O'Leary of Pt. Loma got a 37-pound wahoo for second place, and Dan Taylor of Dana Point found a 32.6-pound wahoo for third place. Marcus Boutros of Whittier got honorable mention for his 77-pound gulf grouper.
