The tuna division was all wrapped up on Monday of Marlin Week, as was the shark division. The winning wahoo was caught on Tuesday and the winning dolphin was caught on Wednesday, but going in to last Thursday with most boats still having two fishing days remaining, the drama in the white marlin and blue marlin divisions unfolded in a couple of hours.
There were 411 white marlin caught and released during the tournament with just 12 boated and brought to the scale, for a 97-percent release rate. On day one alone, there were 100 white marlin caught and released, setting a tone for the first three days of the tournament. A handful were weighed and came up just short. The same situation played out in the blue marlin division, where a 454-pounder was the very first fish weighed on Monday.

Appears Racism enters into fishing contest.
Making "White Marlin" worth more then a Marlin of color.
The white marlin should feel guilty for being valuable.
Somebody give a round of applause for the "inbred siblings" perpetuating the ignorance in America
