\n Michael Jordan may be the G.O.A.T when it comes to fishing, too.<\/p>\n

The NBA legend and his fishing crew reeled in a 442.3-pound blue marlin Tuesday during the annual Big Rock Blue marlin fishing tournament, which includes $3.3 million in prize money.<\/p>\n

\u201cOh my gosh, for Michael Jordan to be in our same air space is exciting and thrilling enough, but for him to land a fish at our tournament and bring it in is thrilling for the entire town,\u201d Crystal Hesmer, the director of the annual tournament in Morehead City, N.C., told The Associated Press. \u201cIt\u2019s unbelievable that he\u2019s here in our little town,\u201d which is home to less than 10,000 people.<\/p>\n

Hesmer said the atmosphere was \u201celectric\u201d when Jordan and his crew unveiled the monster marlin from his $80 million yacht, which is decked out in the light blue of Jordan\u2019s alma mater, North Carolina.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a while since I\u2019ve been back in Morehead City,\u201d said Jordan, who has competed in fishing tournaments in the past. \u201cIt\u2019s only about 100 miles from Wilmington,\u201d where Jordan grew up, \u201cand it\u2019s always great for me to be able to come back. I\u2019m happ<\/a>y to be back. Thank you for inviting me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 62nd installment of the one of the biggest fishing tournament in the country pays out for three largest blue marlins boated, with the winner taking home $1.1 million for the biggest fish, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n

As of Tuesday, Jordan\u2019s marlin was the fifth-heaviest fish caught, with the leader weighing in at 494.2 pounds.<\/p>\n

It has been a busy last couple of months for the 57-year-old Jordan. He was the subject of the highly controversial \u201cLast Dance,\u201d an ESPN documentary about Jordan and the 1998 Bulls that aired in April and May.<\/p>\n

Last week, Jordan and the Nike Jordan brand pledged to donate $100 million over the next 10 years to organizations dedicated to fighting social and racial inequality in response to the death of George Floyd.<\/p>\n

The owner of the Charlotte Hornets has a net worth of $2.1 billion, according to Forbes, making him the richest former professional athlete in the world.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
