(CNN) – A fishing crew lost out on millions of dollars in prize money after catching a 619-pound blue marlin. The team was competing in the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in Morehead, North Carolina Saturday. They spent six hours bringing the massive fish thinking they had won the big prize, which would have been $3.5 million. A different crew brought in a 484-pound blue marlin and won first place in the tournament as well as the prize money. The Big Rock Tournament record was set in 2019 when a crew hauled in a marlin weighing a staggering 914 pounds.
