Ray Lopez brought American Angler home to Pt. Loma Sportfishing July 27 after the annual five-day Ken's Custom Reels trip. There were 26 anglers aboard with chartermaster Ken Corwin, and besides limits of albies, the group also had a good catch of bluefin tuna and yellowtail.

Skipper Lopez could hardly have steered his clients any better, as they hit the tuna grounds on two of the best day so far this year, and then turned their attention to the yellowtail at Cedros Island. While they fished the island, the tuna failed to bite on the open water.

Jamie Lyons of Oceanside won first place for a 44.4-pound bluefin tuna. Ron Penn of San Diego took second for his 41.4-pounder, and Dan Steinke of Brea won third place for his 41.2-pound bluefin tuna.
