Introducing our 1st Place WINNERS!! PELAGIC HUNTER II becomes one of the ONLY outboards to ever WIN the Big Rock Tournament. Welcome to the winners circle! Their 495.2-pound catch earned them $206,688 in Level I + $16,575 for 1st Place in the Outboard Division, sponsored by Starling Marine | Contender Boats Inc.!

Congratulations to Adrian Holler & crew aboard SEA STRIKER! TWO-TIME Big Rock winner, SEA STRIKER, boated their blue marlin at 10:30 AM on the final day of fishing. The 495.0-pound blue marlin was caught by Jon Henry and was just 5-pounds from winning the Fabulous Fisherman’s prize money. Only 0.2 pounds separate 1st from 2nd place. Jarrett Bay Hull #23 earns a whopping $1,056,137 payout and a 2nd place finish in the 62nd Annual tournament!

Since there weren’t any blue marlin weighed over 500 lbs. the Fabulous Fisherman’s money goes to the participant entered in Level V with the most points. LO QUE SEA racked up 2250 points for the week which earns them the Fabulous Fisherman’s prize money worth $552,500 + $151,938 for 1st Place weekly release + $47,813 in Tuesday’s daily release prize money! Congratulations, crew!
