The Chicago Bulls legend and the crew of his 80-foot fishing boat named “Catch 23” hauled in a 442.3-pound blue marlin Tuesday at the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, an event held annually off the coast of Morehead City, North Carolina, that attracts anglers from around the world. It’s the sixth-largest marlin caught so far during the tournament, which boasts a $3.3 million overall purse.
The fish wasn't big enough to place in the top three, so it is not eligible for prize money. But Jordan and his crew still have two more days to catch a bigger marlin and collect some prize money.
