Epic Fail
 

A tournament fisherman caught an 883-pound blue marlin off North Carolina last week. That would have won him a $912,000 first prize, but one of the crew members on his boat didn't have a fishing license. So....disqualified. Oops.

Andy Thomossan thought he had set a new record at the Big Rock Blue Marlin Fishing Tournament, when his monster catch was easily the largest one pulled out of the water during the week-long event. But during a standard post-contest lie detector test?yes, that is actually standard; this shit is serious?organizers discovered that one of the "for-hire mates" on his boat did not have a North Carolina fishing license. The tournament rules require everyone on the crew to have one, even the chum wranglers whose only responsibilities include baiting hooks and keeping the beer cold. Carolina residents can purchase a 10-day license for $5.

Bwhaha that fucking "for-hire mate" guy is lucky 2-6 wasn't the captain of that boat or not having that little $5 license would have got him dead. :p

I think anybody would have got that guy good! So, I say that guy owes the other guy $912,000 + $5.00, and the beer money!

Hey, at least it'll make a nice mount. :D

I didn't read the article, was the "for hire" mate a resident of either Carolinas?

About a year ago I went with two guys from work down to Santee near Charleston and we drift-fished for catfish. I caught a 31 pounder. Funny thing was we were on the water with the charter guide from 4pm until 9:30pm. We got back and he said "damn, forgot to take you guys to get your fishing licenses. Oh well, too late now." Saved us each $10.

I cant stop watching this 1. To funny! I give her credit for trying that jump in the first place.
