Here is the official MA500 release about Day 2 from Jeff Merrill, the MA500's Publicity Coordinator:

August 19, 2008

On Day Two 42 boats headed offshore and the tail end of a mild weather front that passed through south Jersey late Monday night created a bumpy ride for participants in the 2008 Mid-Atlantic $500,000. Though several boats enjoyed good action, no significant changes occurred in the standings.

The white marlin category remains unchanged with Rich Ryon's Anthracite leading the category with a 75-pound billfish caught on Day One. Dan Paulus's Hullabaloo is still in second place with his white marlin of 73 pounds and Jim McCarthy's Covert Mission is in third place with a 72-pound white marlin. Both second and third place white marlin were caught on Day One as well.

In the blue marlin division, Adam Demeusky holds the lead with a 719 pounder caught on Day One aboard his Impulse V. Second and third place remain vacant.

No changes occurred in the tuna division where Mike Tyson's Runaway still has two tuna at the top of that category including yellowfins of 80 and 77 pounds holding first and second place respectively. Sean O'Donnell's Got Walls remains in third place with a yellowfin of 75 pounds.

In the dolphin category, Anthracite continues to lead the category with a 43-pound mahi-mahi and John Gallagher's Raging Bull has the lead in the wahoo category with a 35-pound wahoo. Both fish were caught on Day One.

Some of the boats with billfish catches on Day Two include Jonathon Duffie's Billfisher who released three white marlin while Chip Caruso's Pipe Dreamer released two white marlin. Michael Mitrow's Bac in Five; Art Kontos' Let it Ride; Jeff Citron's Singularis; Tom Jones' Kingfisher and John Widmayer's Bansheez each released one white marlin while Howard Lynch's Tuna Bite and Bob Konz' A-Lure each released a blue marlin on Day Two.

Tonight's entertainment under the tent includes cocktails, roast turkey buffet dinner and music by the Robert Murdoch Band.

my #1 rule is to allow bait to thaw with out putting it in water, even if it's a brine. Let it thaw naturally. the will last much longer when trolled. Sort of like people who are brought out of a frozen lake, doctors control the rate of warming as to prevent damage to internal tissues.

Probably the nicest day I've seen here in two weeks in OC. Nice breeze, not too hot and the sun is shining.

Now to complete the perfect day we just need a nice fish for the scale...
