Report by Jayson Quimby
Saturday, June 29th began with blue skies, a medium south swell, and lots of willing Calico Bass to chomp our offerings. 8 teams participated in this year’s event. The boundaries were Newport to the tip of Palos Verdes, but I think all teams fished NW of Los Alamitos Harbor, splitting their time between fishing the breakwaters, and the various reefs, and kelp beds of Palos Verdes. The fish bit all day. I had 4 guys on my boat, and I am sure we caught well over 80 fish for the day. I knew it was going to take some bigger than average fish to win this one! Unfortunately, I did not make it to the weigh in. I ran out of gas, but Jimmy Decker was nice enough to offer to take Ron, Dave, and our fish to the weigh in, while Mitch and I waited for Vessel Assist to bring us some fuel.
Every team reported excellent fishing, and below are the results:
1st Place: Tom & Val Handzus- 13.08 #’s with a big fish of 6.33#’s
2nd Place: Scott Reason & Jim Opaleary – 11.77 #’s with a big fish of 4.23 #’s
3rd Place: Andrew Gomez, Jeremy Glenn, and Jackson Mentevier – 10.50 #’s with a big fish 4.69#’s
