What's the top weight so far?

Boats are still arriving. They are not showing the leader board.....and I can't remember.

Tuna is around 150 - 160 lb.

Dolphin just over 34.2 lb for $100,000

126 " 716.6 lb. Blue Marlin 1st place.

5.5 hours on the rod and 5 hours figuring out how to get it on the small center console boat....wow!

Lol... that's awesome. Reminds me of being kid and I caught a huge cobia... it drug my canoe all over choctawhatche bay.

This is a weird fish story... an abandoned boat with a fish on the line.

I saw that on the news last night. Strsnge.

The boat that won first place for the  Grand Marlin....126" 716.6 lbs.

Who gets to keep the fish, and who do they sell the fish or do the tournament folks keep the fish and sell them?

All the Marlins are donated to feed the hungry. The other fish.....are kept or donated.
