Apparently, Michael Jordan is good at fishing, too. The six-time NBA champion and the crew of his 80-foot fishing boat named “Catch 23” hauled in a 442.3-pound blue marlin on Tuesday at the Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in Morehead City, North Carolina. It’s the sixth-largest marlin caught so far during the tournament, which boasts a $3.3 million purse. (Associated Press)
