I'm a Great Lakes guy. What's the difference between a White and a Blue Marlin? Billy Mac ;D

Looks like those guys had some fun!

Re: WHITE MARLIN OPEN!! (WITH PHOTOS!!!)
 

SAME FAMILY, DIFFERENT SPECIES. THEY ARE BASICALLY COUSINS. THE BIG BLUE MARLINS WILL ACTUALLY EAT THE WHITE MARLINS. THE WHITE MARLIN GETS TO A MAX SIZE OF AROUND 115 POUNDS, THE BLUE MARLIN CAN REACH SIZES OF 1200 POUNDS. OTHER THAN SIZE, AND COLOR THEY ARE BASICALLY THE SAME FISH

Yeah, did you see where Dream Catcher out of Cape May sank to the ocean floor this morning at 6am? All crew were picked up by passing boats and are safe.

Said the 60' Paul Mann boat hit something in the water and went down very quickly.
