Though only 12 out of 353 boats braved large seas today, there was some change in the standings of the White Marlin Open. Blue Runner from Manasquan not only took over first with a 67-pound tuna by James Boynton, but also third with a 60-pounder by James Keely. That first could be worth $460,000, pushing Jim Stavola on Milling Around from Atlantic Highlands to second with his 64-pounder and a potential $100,000.
The total catch consisted of three white marlin releases and two tuna for the 12 boats. Surprisingly, there still isn't a dolphin on the leaderboard.
