ReplyDeleteThere are different betting categories, called "Calcutta's".
Depending on which one you have entered is the factor in how much you can win.
About 10 or so years ago, a young kid had one of the top fish. He was not in any "high end" Calcutta, and got basically nothing for the #1 catch.
The 2nd and third place fishes in that category that year got well over $100,000.00.
Just for the record:
ReplyDeleteThis is a well-respected and well liked Ocean City local.
A good father, husband...a good guy all around.
He was also a teacher (coach?) at some MD schools.
It's nice to hear that someone that deserves to win - wins it.
Also: Before anybody thinks he's a millionaire all of a sudden, think about this:
45% tax goes right to the Feds and State;
The Captain and crew all get a percentage.
The guys he fished with will surely get a share - maybe all equal.
If he walks with around $150,000 he'll be lucky.
Not bad for a couple days out fishing!
