78 Pound Yellowfin on B2-665NN on the Excel

Excel Sportfishing, San Diego, California

“It looks very encouraging for future fall fishing. There’s lots of clean blue 75 to 85-degree water.”

Two big fish were caught on the kite and therefore not eligible for the jackpots. One came to Joe Chavez of Cerritos, a 101-pounder that found “double trouble” sardines dangled at the surface. The other was a 92-pounder taken by Lance Corporal Yoen Santana.

Dave Geis of Truckee won first place for a 78.8-pound yellowfin tuna he bagged with a mackerel on a 3/0 ringed Mutu hook. He said he used Suffix 40-pound fluorocarbon leader and 65-pound solid Line One Spectra, an Accurate B2 665 XN reel and a Kevin Bogan custom Calstar 765 ML rod.
