After a big day with blue marlin, the spotlight was on whites and tuna

All but one boat fished today before small craft warnings may make the last day a rough one.

The primary white marlin category was turned upside down as the seemingly safe 70-pounder by Viking 80C was blasted by a remarkable 87-pounder on Common Sense. Then Reel King added a 73-pounder — and Michael Jordan’s Catch 23 was heard from for the first time with a 75-pound second place white.

Talkin Trash changed everything in tuna with a 253-pounder and added a 195. The Right Place showed up with a 234-pound bigeye, as did another Manasquan Inlet boat, Taylor Jean at 216 pounds.

After all the blue marlin the day before, there was only one brought in today as The Zipper boated a 470-pounder that didn’t change the top three. I’ll catch up on a few minor changes tomorrow.
