“It’s been a while since I’ve been back in Morehead City. It’s only about 100 miles from Wilmington, and it’s always great for me to be able to come back,” Jordan said. “I’m happy to be back. Thank you for inviting me.”
As of Tuesday afternoon, Catch 23’s marlin was the fifth-heaviest reeled in. 205 boats are vying at this year’s tournament for a record purse of $3.4 million, with $1.14 million to the first-place finisher.
Jordan said it’s not his first marlin tournament, but is the first one he’s competed in in North Carolina.
