Michael Jordan’s boat wins $400K second prize for 71-pound fish in prestigious White Marlin Open
NY Post
A boat, whose crew included one of the greatest basketball players of all time, finished in second place in the prestigious White Marlin Open held in Ocean City, Maryland.
Michael Jordan was aboard the “Catch 23” when angler Trey “Cricket” McMillan reeled in a 71-pound white Marlin on the sixth day of the 52-year-old deep-sea fishing tournament that is dubbed as one of the world’s largest and richest of its kind.
The boat pulled back into the harbor in Ocean City with the song “Sirus” – synonymous with Jordan as the team’s entrance music when he played for the Bulls – playing over the event sound system as the six-time NBA champion could be seen standing alongside other crew members.
The boat erupted in celebration when the weigh-in revealed they had moved into second place in the tournament.
Second place takes home a prize of $400,000. Angler Dan Gough of the Billfisher won the estimated $4.27 million first prize with a 72-pound Marlin.
