by With the threat of Debbie hanging over the event, 199 boats entered in the White Marlin Open got their first of three days in yesterday when bigeye tuna blasts created most of the action. Not surprisingly, bigeye specialist MJ’S Sportfishing got into a school that hooked up on five rods — of which they managed to boat four up to 164 1/2 pounds to pull just behind a 166-pounder by ex-Senate candidate Bob Hugin on his The Right Place. However, before the weigh-ins at Ocean City, Md. ended, the boat CTRL ALT DEL arrived with a 178.5-pound bigeye as well as a 154.5.
MJ’S also released a blue marlin that may have barely been big enough to be weighed in.
The rush to get in a fishable day continued today as 210 of the 318 boats fishing for a purse of $8.5 million are on the water. I’ll try to add a blog tonight if there’s a substantial change and Word Press stands up.
