Controversy at Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament as Winning Fish Disqualified.

Sushi has been declared the winner of the 65th annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament after the previous leader, Sensation, was disqualified due to apparent shark bites on its 619.4-pound catch. The tournament followed IGFA rules regarding mutilated fish and awarded Sushi a whopping $2.77 million of the $5.85 million purse. The Level V Fabulous Fisherman’s prize of $739,500, awarded to the first boat that brings in a blue marlin weighing 500 or more pounds, remained unclaimed after six days of fishing.
