Brian Evans docked Spirit of Adventure at H&M Landing June 30 after an Avet Reels/Seeker Rods trip that visited Alijos Rocks, where biting yellowfin up to 80 pounds were encountered by his 20 anglers. Avet/Seeker rep Ben Frazier was the chartermaster.

Evans commented that his weather was pretty good, and so was the fishing.

Don Gallacher of San Diego won the jackpot for his 79.8-pound Alijos yellowfin. He said he got it with a sardine on a 2/0 Mustad hook tied to 40-pound Izorline fluorocarbon, 40-pound Izorline XXX and 80-pound Line One Spectra. He used an Avet JX Raptor reel and a Super Seeker 800 H rod.

Mel Durard of La Mesa won second place for a 55-pound yellowfin, and Peter Iosifidis of San Diego tied with Lary Schimel of LA for third place, as both me had 54.1-pound tuna.
