I spent the last week at the beach, fishing was slow on the pier one day so I decided to take a ride to Moorehead City and watch the weigh at the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament!
Talk about big fish! The winning fish weighed in at 613 lbs and measured a length of 117 inches and had a girth of 66 inches!!! Unfortunately I could not be there for it's weigh in, however, these photos were taken the same day!
This one didn't win anything but did get a ticket and a thousand dollar fine when they it the dock, the fish was of legal weight for the tournament but was undersize for the states length limit!!
A 567 pound fish!!!
And the winning Dolphin(Mahi)
The really neat thing is all the fish are donated to research upon the tournaments completion so nothing goes to waste!
