The surf-fishing tournament, spanning close to two months, has upper Gulf anglers thrilled to hit the beaches.
Three marlin over 500 pounds were caught during the 64th Annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, with just 36 pounds separating first place from third place–a difference of $3 million in prize money.
The fish’s first run scorched 600 yards of 130-pound test braided line off a 50-class reel with 20-pounds of drag.
It was a billfish tournament, but the star catch was a tuna the size of a small car.
