Michael Jordan's boat was not the GOAT this weekend ... leaving a big fishing tournament empty-handed.
His Airness' Catch 23 watercraft competed in the 66th annual Big Rock Blue Marlin competition in Morehead City, NC ... in hopes of landing a piece of the massive $7.5 million prize pool.
MJ's crew of seven anglers and a captain, however, did not place or earn any money over the course of the weekend.
A boat named Game Time reeled in the heaviest blue marlin ... capturing a 516-pounder. According to the leaderboard, Catch 23 accumulated 400 total pounds throughout the weekend.
