Fish Friday Many know the blue marlin, but have you heard of the WHITE marlin? Despite the name, its body can range from dark blue to a chocolate brown with a silvery white belly. The white marlin looks very similar to the blue marlin but has no spots or bars on its sides. The North Carolina record was caught off Cape Hatteras in 2015 by Neil Manning. Weighing in at 138 pounds, 20 more than the previous record holder.Image: Record holding white marlin. (Image courtesy NCDEQ) #FishFridays #fishfriday #NorthCarolina #NorthCarolina ...

On May 29, 1943, the engine quit on the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) aircraft piloted by Rhonda L. Story of Lenoir with Observer Kermit F. Stubbins of Greensboro. Surfmen from the Coast Guard station in Nags Head rescued both men in a surfboat. As a result of surviving the water incident, the men officially became members of the recently created “Duck Club” for members that had survived a water landing. The national CAP headquarters issued a special badge featuring a red duck floating on blue water to members of the Duck Club. Image: Duck Club Badge.

Fish Friday There’s a new state record for largest white trevally (aka thicklipped jack) caught in North Carolina! On May 8, 2025, Thomas Woo of Wilmington caught the record holding 37.8-inch long, 19-pound and 3.2-ounce fish offshore from Wrightsville Beach. The white trevally is greenish- blue above, silvery white from below, with a yellow stripe along its side. They average 11-16 inches long, with adults being found in coastal waters and estuaries in North Carolina and as far south as southern Brazil. Image: Thomas Woo holding state record White Trevally.
