Pullin' Wire, a 61 Buddy Davis, just weighed a 505-pound blue (114.5 inches). Sixteen-year-old Marina Adams of Tallahassee was the angler. Now in first place.

Triple Threat getting ready to move to the scales. Mollie has a 125-inch blue that will come in tomorrow.

Thanks for posting Capt, Dave. After checking the score board all I can say is: WOW. Impressive weights. Don't you need a tackle caddy the next time you cover one of these? :-D

Mollie's fish was the winner at 660.4 pounds. They also released three blues for third-place release honors. With tournament awards and optionals, Mollie won $514,933. Not too bad for a couple days on a glassy calm Gulf of Mexico.

Marina's blue (505) earned her the top lady angler trophy but no money as there were several other bigger marlin weighed in.
