As of August 5, 2026, the 2026 White Marlin Open in Ocean City has seen significant tuna and mahi-mahi catches dominate the leaderboard after two days of competition. Anglers have already secured substantial prize money, with the top tuna catch alone valued at over $2.4 million.
Jordan Mitchell initially held the top spot on Day 2 with a 91.5-pound tuna, but Anthony Rubino later surpassed this with a 110.5-pound tuna. Several other anglers also made impressive tuna and dolphin catches, ranking high on the leaderboard and earning considerable prize money.
The tournament, however, is still in search of participants in several prestigious categories. As Day 3 commences, anglers have yet to qualify in the blue marlin, wahoo, swordfish, and the highly anticipated white marlin divisions.
