Leaderboard expected to change as Big Fish Classic comes to a close

It was a beautiful day to be out on the water to catch some fish, especially if almost half a million dollars is on the line.  And that was the case today for the 67 boats involved in the Big Fish Classic in Ocean City.

Sunday marks the final day of the three-day tournament where fisherman are challenged to catch the biggest pound-for-pound fish in the Atlantic Ocean.

Boats could fish as far out as 125 miles from Ocean City, so boats from as far as New Jersey and Virginia Beach competed, but they'll all have to go to the Talbot pier for weigh ins later Sunday night.

"We just had a 404-pound Blue Marlin, so it looks like that's one of the biggest," said tournament director Brian Roberts.  "We have a 106-inch Blue Marlin coming to scale right now, and then a third Blue Marlin sitting there waiting so we'll see how big that one is also."

The leaderboard is expected to keep changing throughout the evening.  Official results are expected to be posted by 11 PM Sunday night..
