The Searcher arrived at Fisherman's Landing September 28 under owner Art Taylor's hand, after a five-day open-party trip to Benitos/Cedros with 20 anglers.

John Everts of Chatsworth won first place for a 29.4-pound yellowtail he suckered with a mackerel baited on a 2/0 Super Mutu hook. He said he used 40-pound Big Game line, a Daiwa 30 reel and a Calstar 700 H rod to do the job in 20 minutes.

Bob Bower of Lake Forest was second, for a 27.8-pound yellow he caught on a butterfly jig and a Shimano jig rig, and Gary Adams of Palmdale won third place for a 27.6-pound yellowtail.
