Polaris Supreme arrived under Drew Henderson's hand October 27 after a ten-day trip with 20 anglers that visited the southern banks, an offshore kelp area and Cedros Island. Drew tied the rig at Fisherman's Landing and weighed the best of his catch.

"We had good fishing the first day at the banks," he said, "until about eight in the morning. Then we had a good sunsetter. We got yellowtail on the 23, and about a dozen wahoo on offshore kelps. We had good dorado fishing on the kelps."

"He fought me for 20 minutes," said Pistone, "all up on the bow, back and forth over the anchor. He kicked my butt. He's my best bait fish."

Steve said he used a sardine on a 5/0 ringed Gorilla hook, with 60-pound Ande line and 80-pound Spectra backing on a Penn 50 S reel and a Calstar 6455 XH rod.

Jonah Velardes of Lake Elsinore won second place for a 79.4-pound tuna, and Bob Byrum of Helena, MT won third place for a 78.4-pound yellowfin tuna.

The trip's best yellowtail was a 45.3-pound mossback caught at Cedros Island by Stan Katkansky of Lincoln City, OR.

"I got him on a mackerel," said Stan, "on 60-pound line."
