The Globe Motor Sports Charter aboard the Independence arrived home at Point Loma Sportfishing September 25 after a five-day trip with skipper Jeff DeBuys.

"We were at Guadalupe for a day and a half," said Jeff. "We saw good tuna sign, but fishing was slow. Then we went to San Pablo for some full speed yellowtail fishing. The guys were really stoked with the way the yellows bit."

Steve Sowa of Long Beach won first place for a 71-pound tuna, a fish he picked off with a mackerel on a 6/0 Gorilla hook. He said he fished with 40-pound Izorline and 60-pound Spectra backing on a Saltiga 40 reel and a six-foot Calstar rod.

Rob Seale of Rancho Cucamonga won second place for a 67-pounder, and Scott Mohr of Tucson got third place for a 60.8-pound yellowfin tuna.
