They Need a Bigger Boat

The White Marlin Open is under way in Ocean City, Maryland. So far the action has been non stop according to the WMO blog here, with anglers pulling up to the dock and the prizewinning billfish getting bigger and bigger. So far, the winning White Marlin is 81 pounds and could win one crew 1.1 Million dollars in prize money.

Pictured here is the second largest fish ever caught in the history of the tournament! Its a Blue Marlin, weighing in at 935½ pounds. The crew of the Last Run barely got it on the boat! But if they win the prize for the biggest blue, the $685,000 and a nice trade in could get them a much bigger boat.
