AT SEA BURROUGHS BARELY MISSES A BIG CATCH.Byline: Philip Friedman Special to the Daily News Jeff Burroughs One of the two associations of professional baseball teams in the U.S. and Canada designated as major leagues; the other is the National League (NL).

Officially introduced as the TMS320C80, it combines RISC technology with the functionality of four DSPs on one chip. in 1974, Burroughs had a long and successful career. Burroughs was involved in another kind of battle early Monday morning on board the long-range vessel Royal Polaris.

Burroughs hooked another monster early Monday morning. Royal Polaris skipper Frank LoPreste said it was another big one. "I know the fish was over 300 pounds," said LoPreste. "How much over, I can't say." After fighting the fish for more than an hour and making little headway, Burroughs had beads of perspiration that were turning to rivers. With the giant yellowfin taking more and more line, LoPreste decided to pull the anchor on the Royal Polaris and follow the mammoth tuna in the dark. The vessel was led around in the dark for more than 45 minutes. Suddenly the fish stopped fighting. It was only 50 feet from the boat and some anglers on the Royal started to smell victory. But the weight of the fish was tremendous. Burroughs struggled to budge the monster, but it was as if he were trying to lift more than 300 pounds of dead weight. After another 10 minutes, Burroughs lifted the rod off the rail one more time. The line broke and away went Burroughs' chance at a 300-pound yellowfin. "I think what happened is that the fish had a heart attack and died," said LoPreste. "It's a common thing for the larger yellowfin to die this way. It left Jeff with the impossible task of trying to lift 300 pounds of dead weight. What a heartbreak." Weather and fishing: The rain followed by wind the last couple of days has slowed the Southern California surface bite. The water has become off-color and cold, two conditions that adversely affect the feeding habits of many ocean surface feeders. The five-day weather forecast looks good; there is no substantial rain on the horizon. A return to better weather, and, with it, better ocean conditions, could kick the bite back into gear. |
