MOREHEAD CITY — The saga of the 52nd annual Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament continues two years later as lawyers for the owners of the boat Citation announced plans to continue the fight all the way to the N.C. Supreme Court.

Last week, the N.C. Court of Appeals upheld an earlier ruling by Superior Court Judge John E. Nobles that said Big Rock officials were in the right to disqualify an 883-pound blue marlin caught in 2010 onboard the Citation.

This is not about money, it is about a huge ego and the rules are for other people. If the decision is upheld again, they should never be allowed to compete in the Big Rock Tournament in the future. Persona non grata.
