Five anglers aboard the Raptor, a 47-foot Buddy Davis sportfisher captained by Ted Mears out of North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina, were forced to abandon their boat after it caught fire roughly 50 miles offshore. Tournament officials said all five people safely abandoned ship and were pulled from the water by the crew of Cost Plus, a boat that was not entered in the tournament but was fishing nearby.⁠ ⁠ Tap the link in profile for the full story 🔗⁠ ⁠ #bigrocktournament #fishing #fishingtrip #fishingseason #bluemarlin #fishingtournament #marlingfishing #outdoors #outdoorlife⁠ 📷: Coalter Paxton Peters⁠ Story by: alicejoneswebb
