CABO SAN LUCAS, BCS, Mexico &ndash; A 510-pound black marlin on the final day of the Bisbee Black &amp; Blue Tournament was worth a staggering $3,004,900 to angler Charlie Lee and California-based Team Chinito Bonito.&nbsp;&nbsp;
Lee, from San Diego, is no stranger to prize fish; in a previous year he took home $7,020, a far cry from this tournament&rsquo;s $3,004,900. The second largest payout in the history on Big Game Sportfishing Tournaments.
Total Black &amp; Blue Tournament jackpot payouts amounted to $3,693,625 announced tournament director Wayne Bisbee.
The 2018 event had 114 teams competing in the waters off the tip of Mexico&rsquo;s Baja California both in the Pacific Ocean and Sea of Cortez.&nbsp; Earlier, rough and roiled seas as a result of Hurricane Willa made things difficult for the anglers, but on the final day the water flattened and skies turned blue.&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;
It took Lee and the Chinito Bonito Team 1 hour, 37 minutes to boat the marlin.&nbsp; After landing the giant black, they headed back to the weigh-in station where their prize catch was confirmed as team members celebrated.
