Michael Jordan dominated the court, and it looks like he has dominated the sea.
The Charlotte Hornets owner and NBA icon took his competitive urges to the coast of North Carolina this week and hauled in a massive catch at the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament.
Jordan and the crew of his 80-foot “Catch 23” fishing boat reeled in a 442.3-pound marlin. By the time he got back to the dock with his catch, there was a large crowd waiting to greet him.
As big as that Marlin was, it was only the fifth-largest of the tournament since it began on Monday and wasn’t eligible for top-three prize money in the $3.3 million tournament that also pays prizes for wahoo, tuna and dolphin fish.
“I would love to be back with a little bit bigger fish,” Jordan said, per the Associated Press.
