OCEAN CITY — Kevin Hales, of Pittsville,
MD reeled in the first official white marlin of the season on June 16.
Hales was fishing aboard the boat “Cat Fish” captained by Doug Simm when he reeled in his prize-winning catch in the Washington Canyon. He used an 80-pound line with spreader-bar for bait. Once boated, he released his catch.
Hales will receive $5,000 from the Town of Ocean City. The award will be given at the Marlin Club banquet in the fall.
