While 212 of the 282 registered boats fishing today did change the leaderboard, none of
the fish weighed challenged the 929.5 blue marlin, still worth $4.4 million, that was caught Monday on the Barbara B out of Atlantic Beach, NC. The Special Situation out of Ocean City, MD brought in a white marlin that measured 72 inches with a 70 inch minimum length but missed the 70 pound minimum weight by 3 pounds.
The leaderboard changes were in the tuna division, where the Mama C out of Virginia Beach, VA, weighed a 95-pound tuna caught by Tommy Farella from New Smyrna, FL, and is now worth just under $2 million. The Release out of Hatteras, NC, weighed a 55-pound yellowfin caught by Tim Robins from Grasonville, MD, worth $ 50,000 as of now.
It is a long week, as the tournament runs through Sunday, and leaderboard changes will happen. After today, with 212 boats fishing, there are still over 500 boat fishing days left.
