White Marlin Open

This page will serve as the main display for everything captured during the White Marlin Open Fishing tournament in 2020 and 2019 by me (Steve Momot) of AH360 Photography. I had an absolute blast heading up to Ocean City with Sir’Reel Fishing team to cover the event and it did not let me down from anything I was told beforehand. I must say, the highlight of this particular tournament seemed to be having Michael Jordan and his Viking Yacht in attendance, although I must say I had seen this boat in Ocean Reef, Florida for the Jimmy Johnson Billfish Classic.

Where Are White Marlin Found?

White Marlin are most commonly found in waters deeper than 100m, although this fish still tends to stay near the surface. The most common region of the world where the White Marlin is found is in the epipelagic zone of the tropical and subtropical Atlantic Ocean. This is a species of Billfish and is best fished in Warm Surface waters greater than 22 degrees Celcius, usually near Banks, Shoals, and Canyons.
