The Ocean City Tuna Tournament took place last week, with 109 boats competing for over $1 million over the course of its three days. And for one of the competing boats, not only did they bring home the largest cash prize, but they also set a new tournament record.
The Reel Crazy boat, led by angler Wes Cromer, hauled in a 275-pound bigeye tuna last week, putting them at the top of the tournament leaderboard and setting a new tournament record.
Reel Crazy finished in first place in the tuna category at the tournament, and catching the record-breaking bigeye won them a cash prize of over $300,000. The Talkin’ Trash and Fin Planner boats came in second and third place in the largest tuna category, bringing in 256- and 224-pound tuna respectively.
