After a sleepy day 2, things really heated up on day 3 of the 2022 White Marlin Open, with big fish being brought in one after the other at Harbour Island Marina in Ocean City.

Though no marlins have yet qualified for a cash prize, big tuna have been the story of the tourney so far, with one catch reigning supreme by just 1 pound.

Jason Hersh with Southern C's brought in the biggest tuna of the day at 247.5 pounds at the White Marlin Open on Wednesday, topping by 1 pound Anderson Bowen's 246.5-pound tuna caught aboard the Big Stick.

And so, Hersh's giant tuna is our White Marlin Open catch of the day.

Jason Hersh with Southern C's brought in the biggest tuna of the day at 247.5 pounds at the White Marlin Open Wednesday, Aug. 10, 2022, in Ocean City, Maryland.
