Unfortunately for Michael Jordan, size DOES matter when you’re in a fishing tournament … ’cause His Airness finished 2nd to last on the leaderboard after catching a big ass blue marlin last week.
As we previously reported .. MJ’s Catch 23 boat caught a 442.3-pound fish in the 62nd Annual Big Rock Tournament in Morehead City, NC.
The haul was good enough for 5th place at the time … but as it turns out, some of the other boats in the tourney were able to come through in the clutch during the remaining days of the competition … and MJ’s fish fell down the charts.
The winning boat — the Pelagic Hunter II — came in first after reeling in a 495.2-pound blue marlin.
There’s a silver lining … despite finishing 9th, MJ’s boat beat last place on the leaderboard by 23.3 pounds.
Overall, there were 205 boats in the tournament … with $3,352,475 going out to the biggest winners.
It’s a big improvement for MJ … who’s left fishing tournaments empty-handed in the past.
You’ll get ’em next time, Mike!!
