A huge blue marlin fishermen caught was disqualified from a tournament in North Carolina because it appeared to be mutilated.
Leaders with the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament made a decision after the Sensation’s crew caught a 619-pound marlin on Saturday, the New York Post reported Monday.
The team would have won over $3 million in prize money, however, the creature was disallowed after it was determined it had been bitten by sharks prior to being caught.
In a social media post on Sunday, Big Rock said, “it was determined that SENSATION’S 619.4lb Blue Marlin is disqualified due to mutilation caused by a shark or other marine animal. It was deemed that the fish was mutilated before it was landed or boated and therefore it was disqualified.
