First blue marlin of 67th Big Rock Tournament has been submitted
MOREHEAD CITY, N.C. (WNCT) — The first blue marlin of the 67th annual Big Rock Tournament was weighed on Wednesday night. 'Bankwalkers' turned in a blue marlin just missed the 500lb requirement for the 'Fabulous Fisherman' prize, weighing in at 449.7lbs.
Lizzie Montague, a Carteret County native, fought the fish for nearly three hours today before finally reeling it in. Bankwalkers brought the fish to the weigh station just before 9pm Wednesday evening.
Although the marlin missed the mark of the Fabulous Fisherman prize, it is in first place for the tournament as it is the only marlin to be submitted. For more information, click on the video above and stay tuned to WNCT for full coverage of the Big Rock Tournament.
