If you fish for big game, chances are you've heard of the Big Rock Tournament here on the Crystal Coast. Heck, if you've ever visited the Crystal Coast, you've heard of it too - probably while strolling the Morehead City Waterfront and seeing their fish scale at Big Rock Landing. What you might not know is that Big Rock is a nonprofit organization that supports an array of charities. You might also not be aware that the winnings of the tournament currently add up to over $3,000,000! This year, in addition to the 63rd Annual Big Rock Tournament and the Keli Wagner Lady Angler (KWLA) Tournament, they've added a 3rd tournament: The Big Rock Kids Tournament. Listen to this interesting conversation with Crystal Hesmer, the executive director of Big Rock, as we learn the ins and outs of what in the world the Big Rock actually is.
