During the throes of an NFL season, Matthew Judon is trying to catch quarterbacks while Dalvin Cook is angling toward end zones.
On Saturday, the New England Patriots’ star pass rusher and the Minnesota Vikings’ primary ball-carrier teamed up to win the Sport Fishing Championship’s “The Catch” tournament, competing against several more NFL all-stars. The event took place on the coastal waters of Miami Beach and was broadcast on CBS.
Along with captain and angler Taylor Sanford, Judon and Cook comprised “Team Gypsea,” and the trio never relinquished the initial lead they established after catching a sailfish early on in the two-hour competition.
Under the SFC’s billfish catch-and-release scoring system, which distributes points based on species, Team Gypsea caught a wide array, including red snapper, blackfin tuna, a giant amberfish and the sailfish.
