Inside the World’s Largest Billfish Tournament with The Wild Blue Films
This past August, The Wild Blue Films returned to Ocean City, Maryland for the 52nd Annual White Marlin Open—thrilled to be back as Gold Level Sponsors for our second consecutive year.
Each year, anticipation builds as hundreds of boats make their way to the harbors of Ocean City and crowds gather for the most exciting week in sportfishing. Known as the world’s largest and richest billfish tournament, the White Marlin Open boasts staggering payouts—this year, the winning fish topped $4 million.
From Docks to Drones: Covering the Excitement of the 52nd WMO
The competition was fierce, drawing some of the world’s most respected captains, crews, and teams from across the globe. Highlights included the launch of the Official White Marlin Open Bourbon and none other than Michael Jordan’s Catch 23 making its way to the scales.
It was truly a week like no other, and we’re grateful to have captured the action through professional photography, video production, and drone coverage.
