White Marlin Open Photos

An hour after the scales opened for the first time this week, we’ve seen a pair of contending tuna, two undersized whites and a small blue. George Cumberland on the Why Not was waiting as the scales opened at 4:15 today with his first place 142.5 lb. tuna. The tuna currently stands at $170,000. In second place is the 133.5 lb. fish caught by Don Del Gavio on the Rehab. Second place will net Don just over $60,000 if he can hold on till Friday. According to several of the anglers at the scales today, the off-shore weather was surprisingly accommodating, with relatively calm seas.
