Mike Griffin of Capistrano Beach won first place for a 39-pound albacore, likely the best one so far for a multi-day boat. Mike said he used a sardine bait on a 1/0 Gorilla hook, with 25-pound P-Line on a Torium 20 reel and a Calstar 810 rod.

Three young ladies took the top spots for kids. Jeanne Kelber, 15, of Carlsbad won first place for a 38.6-pound albie. She said it came on a sardine pinned to a 2/0 Mustad hook, on 20-pound Big Game line on an Avet SX reel and a Sabre seven-foot rod. Riley Barilla, 12, of Santa Barbara was second, for a 37.4-pounder, and Robyn Ozaki (Rep Rick Ozaki???s 11-year-old daughter) of Gardena won third place for a 36.6-pound albacore.
