American Angler skipper Sam Patella called his wife, office manager Lori Patella Sunday morning to say the boat had just caught two albacore of 15 to 18 pounds at 239 miles from San Diego, on the way to destinations south. The fish were likely trolled, but that information and more should be forthcoming later this evening.

Other boats that left yesterday include the Intrepid, Qualifier 105 Red Rooster III and Royal Star. Reports from them will also begin to come in soon.
