Independence docked January 7 at Pt. Loma Sportfishing after a 12-day trip with 30 anglers. Jimmy Jimenez of Colton won first place for his 278-pound tuna. Jimmy said he fought it for 2 hours. Shawn Thompson of Bonita landed his 204-pounder for second place Van Nguyen of Anaheim won third place for a 189.2-pounder. .Roy Sakul of Ontario would have won second place, but a shark ended that possibility with two large bites after a little taste of the tuna. Its taped weight was over 240 pounds, on the deck after the mutilated remains were boated. We give great thanks to Ed of Baja Fish Gear for all his great prizes and raffles.. Thanks to everyone on board and wish you all a big welcome to return with us again next year..Great job everyone.. Jeff and the Indy crew..
