A 72.5-pound white marlin caught off the Berzerker out of Ocean City by Chris Cusick led Day 4 of the White Marlin Open.

Although the catch did not top the leaderboard for white marlins — that honor still belongs to Mike Donohue, who caught an 86-pound white marlin on the Griffin on Day 3 of the tournament — Cusick is in line for a $40,000 payout.

Jim Murray aboard the Caitlin caught a 64-pound tuna. He is in line for a $36,000 payout.

Seth Obertz aboard the G-Force out of Ocean City caught a 53.5-pound wahoo, putting him in second in that category. He is in line for a $26,000 payout.
