Friday!

The scales are open for the final day of the 37th Annual White Marlin Open. It has been an exciting week with a 97.5 pound white, a 1010.5 pound blue and a record number of fish weighed on Monday. Historically, Friday has been a game changer - will that be the case again this year?

Big Fish are Hard to Beat

Several whites have been brought to the scales tonight but none was able to break into the prize money. The 97.5 pound white and 1010.5 pound blue are going to be tough to beat. John Sonner on the Titan 62 brought in a 71.5 pound tuna that tied for third place. Still no qualifying shark or wahoo.

Second Largest White in WMO History

Ocean City local Brian Roberts caught a huge 97.5 pound white marlin aboard the Shelly II. This is the second largest white marlin in White Marlin Open history! The first time Brian fished in the White Marlin Open, he was on a 28 foot boat that sank. This is a much better memory!

It's a Grander!!!

Let it Ride out of Fair Haven, NJ just weighed a grander!! The second 1,000 plus pound blue marlin in WMO history was caught by John Kontos of Crested Butte, CO. John has been fishing with his father for years but has never seen anything this big! 1,010.5 pounds to be exact. This one is going to be really hard to beat.
