The 52nd annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Fishing
Tournament, off South Carolina, is over. Everyone was sure that Andy
Thomossan's record-breaking catch -- an 883-pound blue marlin -- would
win it, but Thomossan's boat was disqualified. "We didn't do anything
wrong," Thomossan said. "But one of our people did. He failed to get a
fishing license," which would have cost $15. "He told us he had it. He
didn't." A license is required. Thus the record didn't count, the team
was booted out of first place, and they didn't get the prize --
$912,825. (Jacksonville Daily News) ...Remember, guys: before you go
after him, you have to get a hunting license.
