Today’s pool winner was Marl Lepik who caught a 2.8lb Porgy.

We were lucky enough to encounter a very special whale, Nile’s 2016 calf. Three weeks ago this 4 year-old calf was found severely entangled in 3900 pounds of cable and line about 10 miles out of New York Harbor. He had just enough slack to allow him to surface in breath.
