The White Marlin Open is a 51-year-old deep-sea fishing tournament held annually in Ocean City, Maryland. Long known as the “World’s Largest Billfishing Tournament,” the Open has awarded over $113 million for catches of the gamefish that migrate up the Gulf Stream each summer. The first tournament was held in 1974 and drew 57 boats, 150 anglers, and paid $20,000 in prize money. The 2024 event drew 318 boats, over 3,000 contestants, and awarded over $8.59 million dollars in prize money, including the top individual prize of $3.7 million dollars.
