BIG ROCK: Two largest fish of tournament caught on day 5

MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. (WITN) - The crew of Sushi reeled in a 484.5 pound blue marlin on day five of the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament, moving into first place on the leaderboard.

Chasin’ A weighed-in a couple hours of later with their 479.8 big blue, which was good enough for second place.

Dun-Rite also boated a blue marlin Friday, which weighed 425.3 pounds.

Nearly every registered boat was on the water for the second-to-last day of the tournament.

Until Friday, it was C-Student that held onto the lead with its 470.2 pound blue marlin that was caught on Monday.

Still unclaimed is this year’s Fabulous Fisherman prize, given to the first eligible boat that brings in a fish of 500 pounds. That prize is worth $739,5000.
