Mark Pisano and his partner Paul Strasser docked their Independence at Pt. Loma Sportfishing July 25 after a five-day trip. Like most, they fished at Cedros Island and offshore.

The island cranked out a few monstrous yellowtail. Jeff Caliva of Loma Linda found the biggest one with a sardine on a 5/0 Mustad 94151 hook. He used 50-pound Izorline on a Trinidad 30 reel and a six and a half-foot Calstar rod.

Paul Burrows of La Canada won second place for a 45.2-pound yellow, and Jeff Bear of San Diego bagged a 39.2-pound yellowtail for third place.
