I have loved to fish since I was three years old. So, when I see a story like this all my bells and whistles fire off. A massive blue marlin caught off the coast of North Carolina. It happened in a fishing tournament off the coast of Hatteras. And the payday for the 504 pound blue marlin is well worth the while for the fishing team.

It all happened at this year’s Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in North Carolina. And I think the fishing team has a right to their name. They call themselves the Fabulous Fishermen from the boat, RELEASE according to our source, kplctv.com. The Fabulous Fisherman took the prize for the first catch over 500 lbs. And their reward is 1.7 million dollars. You heard me right, that’s 1.7 million dollar for this blue marlin caught off the Hatteras, North Carolina coast.
