A 33-pound dolphin, a one-pound margin, and six white marlin releases on the final day. Reel Priority finished the MidAtlantic with plenty to show for the week offshore.
At the 2026 MidAtlantic, Reel Priority’s 33-pound mahi won the Dolphin Division by one pound. The team also finished 11th overall, with blue and white marlin releases throughout the week.
Starting the Week With Billfish

The 33-Pound Mahi That Won the Division
The winning fish came on the final day: a 33-pound dolphin that took the division by one pound. In offshore fishing, dolphin is another name for mahi-mahi, and the MidAtlantic calls this category its Dolphin Division.
Six White Marlin Releases on the Final Day
