Fishing crew loses $3.5 million prize due to disqualified marlin.

TL;DR Summary
A fishing crew named Sensation was disqualified from the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in North Carolina after catching a 619.4-pound blue marlin that appeared to have been bitten by a shark before it was caught. The crew would have won prize money totaling about $3.5 million, but the tournament officials deemed the fish ineligible due to mutilation caused by a shark or other marine animal. The crew is filing a protest, claiming that the rule is not clear and that nobody on the boat saw a shark. Another team named Sushi was declared the winner.
