Seems a likely outcome of dragging a bloody fish for 6 hours in shark infested waters. With rules like that why bother. Biggest fish should win. That was a spectacular specimen with an exceptional effort.
Mutilation to the fish, prior to landing or boating the catch, caused by sharks, other fish, mammals, or propellers that remove or penetrate the flesh. Injuries caused by leader or line, scratches, old healed scars or regeneration deformities are not considered to be disqualifying injuries.
I didnt see the fish in person but from what I can see on the videos , that fish was not mortaly wounded !!! Its vital organs were not touched in any way so how can the officals say it wasn't able to fight up to its potential !!! NOT A GOOD CALL by the officals in my book !!!
that is bull a bite was taken out of it by a shark. To disqualify it based on something that was out of yhere hands the tournament needs to be disqualified
The rule is there because if a shark attacks your fish it could actually favor the fishermen in helping catch and land the marlin. That’s why that rule is in place if anyone is wondering
Quem tinha que ganhar o prêmio era os pescadores que fisgaram o Marlim de 280 quilos ele deu mais trabalho para ser fisgado por ser mais forte e pesado 60 quilos a mais essa diferença de peso e brutal , foi uma covardia terem perdido o prêmio não justifica a batalha que o marlim teve no mar talvez por estar mordido por outro peixe não implicaria na sua força física direta mesmo que as mordidas fossem profundas um marlim de 280 quilos a sua força e brutal ?
