MJs has the magic touch with bigeyes

There was a big change today in Jimmy Johnson’s Quest for the Ring Tournament out of Atlantic City, but not an unexpected one as MJs upended the tuna category just as that crew has been doing since they were teenagers. They had only caught one yellowfin before the right tuna was raised. With Dante Sorriente in the chair, the odds were in their favor. When a crane raised it out of the cockpit, I estimated it at 200 pounds, but was wrong. It only made 198.8 pounds! I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up with an even bigger one this week.

Also added to the leaderboard was the largest yellowfin so far as that 96.7-pounder on Highly Leveraged moved into second in tuna. There was also the first wahoo entry as Jersey Cape weighed a 38.8-pounder.
