Controversy lingers after Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament's conclusion.

The 65th annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament ended in controversy after the catch by Sensation was disqualified due to a shark bite on the blue marlin, making Sushi the winner of the $2,769,438 million top prize. Sensation owner Ashley Bleau has filed a protest over the decision. The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament board consulted its rules committee, board of directors, biologists, and the International Game Fish Association officials before announcing the disqualification.
