Brian Evans docked Mike Keating's Spirit of Adventure at H&M Landing June 23 after a five-day trip with 21 anglers.

Ron Kaufman of San Diego split first place with Tab Andrade of Bishop. Both men had 50.1-pound tuna; Kaufman caught a yellowfin and Andrade found a bluefin of exactly the same weight.

Kaufman got his with a sardine on a 3/0 Mutu hook, with 30-pound Izorline, a Trinidad 30 reel and a Calstar 610 rod.

Andrade used a sardine on a 2/0 Mustad hook with 25-pound Ande line on a Penn Basja Special reel and a Cabella's six-foot rod top bag his bluefin.

Jim Perkins of Bullhead City, AZ got a 40-pound bluefin to win third place.
