Qualifier 105 arrived at Pt. Loma Sportfishing November 11 after the ten-day Boss Hoag/Ahi open charter with chartermasters Hoag and Gary VanDerLyke. Skipper Joe Crisci docked the rig and weighed the fish.

"Fishing is about timing right now," said Crisci. "Get to the right place and you can catch some."

Dennis Murphy of Camarillo won first place. He caught a 54.8-pound wahoo on a sardine and a 5/0 Mustad hook on 40-pound Big Game line and 65-pound Spectra, with an Avet JX reel and a Calstar six-foot rod.

Dominic Cardoza of Lakeside won second place for a 46.4-pound ???hoo, and Steve Brooks of Camarillo was third, for a 44-pound dorado.
