CELEBRATING NATIONAL FISHING AND BOATING WEEK
(Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina asked and was given permission to
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
Mr. DAVIS of North Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am so excited to
celebrate National Fishing and Boating Week and recognize the legendary
Big Rock Blue Marlin Tournament in Morehead City, a treasured tradition
along our beautiful Crystal Coast.
For generations, fishing and boating have brought families together,
supported small businesses, strengthened our coastal economy, and
connected people to breathtaking waters that make eastern North
Carolina so special.
The Big Rock tournament represents the very best of our maritime
heritage, drawing anglers from far and near to experience world-class
competition and the unmatched hospitality of our coastal communities.
Fishing, it is not just a pastime in the East. It is our way of life.
Mr. Speaker, as a co-chair of the Congressional Boating Caucus, I am
so proud to support our boaters, anglers, captains, crews, and coastal
businesses who keep these rich traditions alive.
