According to the article, the $2.6 million payout was for the largest white marlin caught during the 2018 competition; the largest blue marlin received a prize of $924,000. The fish in Nigeria is a blue marlin, so even in the competition, the prize was not $2.6 million.

$924,000 isn’t small money too..

Are they gonna buy the fish or what?

The fish is worth as much as the price/bounty place on it during a fishing competition/tournament.

So what's the price of the blue Marlin Fish? It's very important, we don't know the next person that will get hold of the fish.

They would only pay the fisherman $924k if he paid the $20k fee for the tournament. And the fisherman will only receive the payment if his fish is the biggest in the said category
