Wahoo swept the jackpot for the American Angler's ten-day trip for Angler's Choice Tackle in San Diego. Sam Patella docked the rig at Pt. Loma Sportfishing November 10 and weighed the best of the catch. He remarked that fishing was good for all species but yellowfin.

While he was still fishing Sam wrote the following on November 6: "A Few More Skins For The Barby?Ķ

"We did some trolling today and managed to pick up a few more of these nice quality Wahoo - the weather is very nice and we will spend one more day down here before running up and switching gears to Yellowtail mode."

Dennis Saylors of Long Beach won first place for a 57.4-pound wahoo. He said it bit a chrome Raider jig on 60-pound Izorline. He used a Trinidad 40 reel and a Calstar 660 rod.

"He ran like hell," said Saylors. "I played him for about five minutes."

Dr. John Metcalf of Danville was second, for a 43.8-pound wahoo, and Ed Kaminaka of Oceanside took third place for a 35-pound skinny. Dick Stokes of Caldwell, ID got the best wahoo trolling; a 55..8-pounder that ate his black and purple Marauder.
