My wife and I took our son over to see some weigh in's yesterday. Definitely a much better day for fishing than Friday. Much less crowded than in the past, too. We had front row for the first 4 sharks weighed in and my son had a blast. He's 4 y.o. and obsessed with sharks. The largest we saw before my son ran out of steam was a 320lb thresher. As we were heading back to the 5:15 ferry, there were a few more boats with fish on board waiting to be weighed. One boat looked to have a really nice one in the cockpit, but I couldn't see the whole fish.
Crafty, I saw Shack Attack coming back into the harbor, but I don't think he had a shark. Pretty hard to miss that boat, with the Clam Shack graphics on it. And the triple 300's are pretty sweet. I heard a few comments from people waiting for the ferry about the boat and the Shack. The guy behind me said he eats there whenever he's in Newport. Pretty slick advertising.
