I'm told it would have won, I want to say pay out is about $150,000 but I'm somewhat drunk and can not verify that

I have a pic of the fish and I'm working on downloading an ap to post it

Engine trouble, sucks for them, but rules are rules. Payout depends on a couple of factors in obbc, not a flat pay out pretty sure

Any word on how JJ did?

Nevermind. I see he didn't fish it. I'm sure he'll be in the Blue Marlin Grand Championship in July though.

knowing who paid the entry for that boat, it couldn't have happened to a better bunch.

Yep. We fished the Rick's Cabaret tournament years ago and had the 1st place wahoo (70 lbs.) as the weigh-in ended that pays $9000. There was another boat coming in to the weigh-in and were running late and said they had a big wahoo, and supposedly were buddies of the tournament directors. Well, they pulled into the marina over half an hour after the weigh-in was supposed to end. I went and found one of the tournament directors and told him that if they put that fish on the board, he was gonna have 7 pissed off half drunk Coonasses to deal with.

Well, they weighed the fish and it was smaller than ours, but would have won 2nd place if they would have allowed it.

There was also a 189 pound YFT that was DQed because the boat prop hit it.

Considered mutilation of the fish. IGFA rule.
