Craig Drummond of Corona won second place for a 241-pounder, a giant he took on a PL 68 white jig, with 100-pound Izorline and 130-pound Line One Spectra on a Penn 50 T reel and a Calstar 760 H rod.

???He was a tough SOB,??? said Drummond. ???He got about 40 turns around the anchor line. Thanks for Brett Rouintree for helping me get him off the rope.???

Doug Trowbridge of Long Beach won first place on the trip, for a 260-pound yellowfin tuna.

???It was unreal,??? said Trowbridge, ???because we were on the slow troll. I felt the little tuna bait get shaky, you know, real twitchy, and he ran, then stopped, and then ran again. I thought maybe a shark was after him because we had a lot of sharks and I had already lost a big fish to sharks. Then he got that bait and it was game on!???

Doug said he fished with an 11/0 Mustad 7691 hook on 130-pound Momoi line and 130-pound Line One Spectra backing on a Penn 50 SW reel and a 6460 XH Calstar rod. It was his best fish, and the first one over 200 pounds.

Rooster regular rider Hans Reuckert of Granada Hills won second place with a 264.5-pounder. He also had a 248, a 245 and a 211-pounder. Accurate pro-staffer Leo Rheisen noted that Hans caught a cow about f5:30 in the morning every day for four days.
