There were no late entries in the MidAtlantic by the 9 p.m. deadline, so the leaders remain the same as noted in tonight's blog. With fine offshore weather, 88 of the 157 boats entered fished on Tuesday.
New Jersey boats were represented on the leaderboard as Brian Crudeli's Reel Addiction from Pemberton took second in white marlin at 65 pounds; Adam Youschak's Reelin Feelin had a 76-pound yellowfin for third in tuna; and Stan Hitchner's Pez Machine from Banegat Light could be one of the big winners with its first place 230-pound bigeye tuna that's currently worth $419,503.
