Michael Jordan is competing in the White Marlin Open this weekend with his 82-foot Bayliss fishing boat. MJ and the Catch 23 crew are currently in second place after weighing in a 71-pound white marlin. If the result holds, they’ll walk away with $400,000 in prize money.

1. Classic MJ

2. MJ will take second place finish personally.

3. Jordan will not like a 2nd place finish…

4. Ship Bayliss

5. That’s just cheap change for guys with their own yachts. It’s like a $10 bet for us piss poor lads. Lol

6. Good luck

7. My cousins husband fishes on his boat and is the one who caught that 71lb marlin. She was posting pictures of him on local tv with Jordan.

   He’s fished on MJ’s boat in a bunch of tourneys.

8. More evidence that MJ really only likes competition, the particular sport does not matter 

9. Catch 23 is a pretty great name

10. We’ve got weights in fish!

11. He needs the money, good for him.

12. 71lb marlin is good for 2nd place?

    Holy shit. Who’s in 1st and what behemoth of a marlin did they catch?

13. Jordan is fueled by competition. He probably couldn’t care less about the 400k he’s just super competitive.

14. I did some work on this boat regarding the monitoring and control system!! Nice to see it’s competing!

15. MJ must be country af to own a nascar team and a fishing team

16. 2nd place ain’t gonna do boss

17. True competitor

18. 71 pound fish is huge

19. Love seeing former athletes have real hobbies. Seeing the likes of Shaq in every IG comment or trying to go viral, some trying to rewrite history on podcasts… just go live and enjoy the next chapter.

20. This looks like a scene from the original Jaws
    😅

21. Loss is not in his dictionary.

22. Good life

23. I was there at the same time as this two years ago, we were parasailing and while suspended up in the air we saw MJ standing at the end of his Air Jordan boat while he and the other boats were coming in towards the end of the day. Was super cool

24. That should cover the fuel cost

25. Most competitive man on the planet

26. This is very much what a kid from Wilmington, North Carolina, would dream of doing when he’s older.

27. Shout out to the GOAT!!

28. You know MJ is trashtalking the fish in the water like they part of team.

29. Whoever’s driving absolutely BUTTERED that bad boy into that dock space.

30. Catch and release?
