White Marlin Open starts Monday (8/4)
The White Marlin Open fishing tournament begins Monday, with hundreds of anglers from all over the world fishing three out of five days in the hope of cashing in on some part of about $10 million in prize money.
Tournament prize money will be paid for white marlin, blue marlin, tuna, wahoo, dolphin and swordfish.
Last year's purse was $8.59 million with a $3.7 million dollar payout for the 1st place white marlin. Tournament organizers expect 400 boats to participate this year.
Weigh-ins will be held at Harbour Island, although spectators can also view the action at Marlin Fest, which will be held each day of the tournament at the inlet parking lot and beach from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m.
