1.4 million dollar marlin caught 2nd day of the Bisbee's Black & Blue

After a 79 minutes fight, angler Dave Sanchez from Team Frantic Pace landed the first blue marlin qualified to bring back to the scale to be weighed.

Back at the docks, the fish was brought to the scale and it weighed a total of 465 lbs. As the first day of the tournament there were no winners, the $700K jackpot was rolled over to the second day, earning Dave and the Frantic Pace Team a net $1.4 million dollar jackpot.
$1.4 million dollar winners. Team Frantic Pace, 1st time ever participating in the tournament.

BISBEE'S BLACK & BLUE TOURNAMENT UPDATE THE FIRST DAY OF THE BLACK AND BLUE GOT OFF TO A SLOW START FOR THE 706 ANGLERS DIVIDED IN 106 TEAMS.

At the end of the day, yesterday only one boat brought a fish to be weighed, which cost him several points as it turned to be smaller than the specified weight. The day ended with a tie between 4 boats, all with 300 points, Teams Sea Angel, Sneak Attack and Chupacabra by releasing a blue marlin each, and Team Hammertime by releasing the first black marlin of the tournament.
As the first day did not bring any qualified winners, the daily jackpot rolls over to 1.4 Million for the 2nd day.
