Cheryl McLeskey made her way to the docks on the boat Backlash with the 94 pound Billfish on board. This fish could win McLeskey a whopping $1.3 million. The winning white marlin last year was a mere 78 pounds.
There was a huge increase of boats fishing on Wednesday compared to Tuesday’s numbers, with 238 boats in the water throughout the day.
