Spirit of Adventure arrived at H&M Landing July 16 under Brian Evans' hand, after fishing offshore waters on a four-day trip.

Sparky Brawley of Newport Beach won first place for a 43.1-pound albacore, which is the second-largest of the young season for the multi-day fleet. He said he bagged it with a sardine on a 1/0 ringed Super Mutu hook on 30-pound Blackwater fluorocarbon leader and 50-pound Power Pro Spectra on a Trinidad 20 reel and a Calstar 700 H rod.

Twelve-year-old Jacob Gruberger of Encino goes to Coldwater Canyon Prep School. He won second place for his 37.4-pound longfin.
