Out of many boats at the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, the Sensation brought in the largest blue marlin. The fish weighed more than 500 pounds. The fish’s unofficial weight of 619.4 pounds provoked cheers on the night of Sunday around Morehead City. Unfortunately, the fish had incurred a lot of damage.

Sushi won $2.7 million in the end.
