Regardless of the game or sport, Michael Jordan is super competitive — his career and life are a testament to that fact.
Most recently, the NBA legend is making headlines for catching a 442.3-pound blue marlin while competing in a fishing tournament, according to reports.
“Jordan is currently dukin’ it out in the 62nd Annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in Morehead City, North Carolina this week … a big-time competition with $3.4 MILLION in prize money. His Airness has participated in huge fishing comps in the past … including the White Marlin Open in 2019,” TMZ states, adding “MJ was all smiles when his crew brought in the huge blue marlin on Tuesday … which is good enough to put them in 5th place for the heaviest marlin (the first place boat reeled in a 494.2-lb fish!!!).”
In a post-fishing interview, Jordan said he hopes to bring back a bigger fish when he gets back out on to the water.
“The crowd went wild when MJ pulled up to the dock … and the legend even agreed to sign a few autographs after celebrating the huge catch. The tourney goes through the 13 … so MJ still has some time to come through in the clutch,” TMZ adds.
