Robert Purcell of Bishopville caught a Maryland record 20-pound blueline tilefish, on September 12, about 75 miles southeast of Ocean City.
"We had a slow morning fishing over the Norfolk Canyon for white marlin and decided to switch to bottom fishing," said Purcell. "I rigged a strip of skipjack tuna for bait and dropped it about 450 feet to the bottom."
It was this combination that landed him the record fish.
Onshore at Ocean City's Sunset Marina, weigh master Stan Hansen certified the fish's weight. Maryland Department Natural Resources (DNR) fisheries biologist Steve Doctor confirmed the species, making the catch official.
