The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in Morehead City, Carteret County, United States | Fishing

The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament is a non-profit fishing tournament held every year in Morehead City, North Carolina which has to date donate over 3 million dollars to charity. The Big Rock, is not a rock at all, but a series of ledges, peaks and plateaus where reef fish reside and attract the bigger fish that marlin feast on over 8-10 miles of the East Coast, and is considered the premier spot for marlin fishing. The Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament has grown from humble beginnings and small prize money to a huge event today, with increased sponsorship and participation, and have led the way in the establishment of conservation standards that other tournaments later chose to model. It is literally the super bowl of fishing, with a huge purse but that's not the true drawing card, all billfish captains want to be crowned Big Rock Champions, so book for this year and that one lucky catch it’s a Gulfstream fishing tradition that has no equal.
