WHITE MARLIN OPEN 2019.

WORLDS LARGEST & RICHEST BILLFISHING TOURNAMENT

Ever since Paul and Jack Townsend discovered the white marlin bonanza known as the “jackspot” in 1934, Ocean City, Maryland, has been called the White Marlin Capital of the World. With the creation of the White Marlin Open in 1974, it’s a title the community wears proudly as home port to one of the world’s biggest and richest billfish events. With up to 449 boats fishing and $3.4 million in tournament prize money at stake, white marlin fishing is big ­business in these parts.
