Team won $206,762.50
Recording a total of four Billfish Grand Slams, including two in one day, WAVE PAVER won the Release Division of the 67th Annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament.
The team’s total catch for the event included four blue marlin, four white marlin and 10 sailfish. They took home $206,762.50 in prize money
JR Davis, owner of WAVE PAVER, said they’d caught a Grand Slam outside the U.S, but this was their first time doing it in U.S. waters.
“This is our favorite stop on the tournament circuit,” he said. “To fish in Beaufort and Morehead City and be embraced by this community means a lot. We’ve caught a Grand Slam outside the U.S., but this was our first domestic one. To end up with four was just incredible.”
MAGIC MOMENT took second place in the division, winning $147,685.50 after releasing six blue marlin and one white marlin.
Rounding out the Top 3 was BUILDER’S CHOICE, earning $118,150 for their five blue marlin, one white marlin and three sailfish.
