[h2]After catching 883-pound marlin, crew disqualified over out-of-date license
[/h2]
After a two-hour struggle with the gigantic fish off North Carolina's Outer Banks , Alexandria resident Peter Wann pulled with all his strength and the creature emerged from the ocean depths.

He and his four sport fishing teammates could finally see what they had been struggling against — an 883-pound blue marlin spanning 137 inches, the biggest fish any of them had ever seen.

"My eyes were wide," Wann said of the June 14 catch. "Once it got up, everybody started freaking out, saying, 'Holy smokes!' Everybody was so excited." ........................

I heard this story on the radio the other day, apparently that fish had a $900,000 but the guy who caught it didnt have his licensed renewed (it only costs about $5, and he lied to his crew)
