by With millions of dollars on the line. boaters entered in the 51st White Marlin Open at Ocean City, Maryland keep fighting the weather to get their three days in. Today would normally be the last day of the contest with almost everyone fishing, but only 17 boats went out into a Baltimore Canyon forecast of 25-30 knot winds and 8-13-foot seas. The tournament has been extended to Saturday, but that only looks slightly better.
After sending in yesterday’s blog, a white marlin weigh-in that came in early and I missed on the marlin cam changed that richest category in the 51st White Marlin Open at Ocean City, Maryland. Billfisher from Ocean City weighed a 76-pounder that falls right behind the 77.5-pounder by Waste Knot.
As if two huge blue marlin weren’t enough, there was another yesterday evening as Moore Bills moved into second with an 894-pounder that was just 3.5 pounds behind Stone Cutter’s leader.
Blue Runner from Point Pleasant retained their tuna lead at 220.5-pounds, but MJ’s Sportfishing made a run at them with more bigeyes up to a 193.5-pounder.
The wahoo category remains empty.
