Pelagic Hunter II: Journey to the Top of Big Rock

June 23, 2021 By InTheBite Digital Editor

By Nichole Osinski

“I’ve always wanted to be in the Big Rock,” Pelagic Hunter II Captain John Cruise III says thinking back on the many years he’s attended the tournament.

And in 2020, Cruise took his first step toward that goal by signing up for the Lady Angler Tournament. His wife would be competing, but fate, and foul weather, had other plans and it looked as if the Pelagic Hunter II wouldn’t be sharing the seas with other boats during those two days.

June 7, 2021 By InTheBite Digital Editor

With the storms following the tournaments north, the East Coast teams geared up for the 2021 Cape Fear Blue Marlin Tournament. A total of 26 boats headed offshore on June 2 in search of whiteys, blues and dolphin. Due to foul weather preventing fishing on the second day, the teams were out in full force on the third and final day.

Team J&B, a 55′ Wanchese out of Oriental, North Carolina captained by Alan Murray, won first place with a nice doubleheader followed by Horse with captain and owner Les Edwards. 18 Reeler won first place with their dolphin and Jimmy Vass won the Eddy Haneman Sportsmanship Award. A job well done to all the teams.

Gallery: Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament

June 7, 2021 By InTheBite Digital Editor

Despite Covid canceling the event last year, the 53rd Annual Georgetown Blue Marlin Tournament was a go for 2021. Sitting around 70 boats, the tournament saw the 69′ Spencer Inappropriate, captained by Andy Crews, taking first. And despite stormy weather signaling a no-go for boats on the final day of fishing, the tournament was a welcome return in South Carolina.

Also, a big thanks to Capt. Jon Meade and the crew on the 62′ Spencer Showtime! for hosting InTheBite during the first day of the tournament. The team had a nice white marlin release early on in the day and exemplified what it means to have a love for sportfishing. Of course we were impressed by some of the guys’ dunkaroos skills as well.
