Ed Turney here with a wonderful fish story to go with this picture.

It was a cold and stormy morning on January sixth of the year two-thousand-and-seven when I set "sail" in my 26.5 foot World Cat headed east. Just a tad over 70 nautical miles at the Washington I hooked up with what I called Mr. Monster. After about an hour on a 50 Penn International (standing up-no fighting chair) I was able to "stick" the big fellow. I thought I might as well keep the trolling lines going since it was still early, but soon winter clouds began to roll from the west. I decided it was time to "bring um in". And, wouldn't you know it, a hit! Oh, where's the press when you want them? My "Turney's Journeys" craft was drawing um like green heads in a west August breeze on Assateague. A jumping, flipping, highflying White hit a split tail and the fight was on (eat your heart out Carlos Bentos). Just fifteen minutes later I managed to reach the leader and noticed a gut hooked rather large white marlin. Death was soon to come. No longer had I grabbed the bill than the fish just gave up and would have had a watery grave had I not brought it aboard. As is evident in the picture, I wish to say that the Marlin Capital of the World is THE place to be year round. Now, if I can just get this by the Chamber of Commerce and the fishing community I can become the biggest fish taleteller of the Eastern Shore. Well, ok so they're fake. Two mounts used by Sunset Marina for winter boat and marina shows. But, I thought you'd get a kick out of the bit. Enjoy and I will see you around town and on the docks.
