Mark Pisano docked his Independence at Pt. Loma Sportfishing December 10 after the 12-day Sav On Tackle trip with chartermaster Roger Eckhart.
Sam Lewis of Chino won first place in the jackpot for a 234.4-pound tuna he bagged with a sardine on a 7/0 Eagle Claw hook tied to 100-pound Seaguar Premier fluorocarbon. He said he fished with 100-pound Momoi line and 100-pound Line One Spectra on an Avet HXW reel and a Calstar 770 H rod wrapped by Taka's Tackle.
"He bit and then he ran out with just about all my line," said Lewis, "and then he died. I guess he was tail-wrapped, because he came in dead."
Sal Proetto of Lake Forest won second place for a 161-pounder, and Jason Garcia of Whittier took third place for a 145-pound tuna. Both fish came on floating balloons.
