OCEAN CITY, MD - A Marlin reportedly sank a boat carrying five Marylanders
during the White Marlin Open. A boat competing in the fishing tournament rescued the entire crew, plus their beer.
"White Marlin Open 2021 Day 1:
Heard on the radio a boat was sinking, coast guard was coming and we didn’t see anyone we probably weren’t near them. Got their coordinates, reeled in everything and 3100 horsepower full speed ahead went and realized how close we were. They lost the fight on a blue marlin, they lost their boat and their personal belongings and fishing gear, but we did save them! And their beer. So we fed them and added a few to our amazing team for the day… terrifying and wonderful all at the same time. So glad everyone is safe. Captain William Chapman is a hero!! Let’s go “Fishbone”."
Last week a Marylander spent 8 hours and suffered hospitalization reeling in a record 301 lb swordfish.

Did I ever tell you the time I got dumped from a day sailer, a mile east off Wood Island Light? No preserver, but faith in the person to bring the skiff about and pick me up? Yeah, that was a 15 year old experience I had....
The swells so high, that you see, then you don't, the object of your intentions?
