Controversy over disqualified marlin catch in fishing tournament.
TL;DR
Chad Kendrick, a resident of Roxboro, was part of the crew aboard the boat Sushi, which won first place in the 65th Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament after the initial winner was disqualified due to a controversy surrounding a disqualified fish. The crew from Sushi won the tournament's $2.77 million prize money with a blue marlin weighing 484.5 pounds. Kendrick hopes to be asked back next year, calling it the experience of a lifetime.
