The first fish was caught aboard the Miss Grace out of Deale.
Angler, Neil Villanueva, 11, caught the 19-inch striped bass that was tagged with a neon-green plastic tag that could be worth $10.000 in June as part of the Maryland Fishing Challenge, The Return of Diamond Jim.
As many as 200 tagged striped bass will be released today.
