             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.
