CELEBRATING NATIONAL FISHING AND BOATING WEEK

Congressional Record, Volume 172 Issue 99 (Thursday, June 11, 2026) [Congressional Record Volume 172, Number 99 (Thursday, June 11, 2026)] [House] [Page H4102] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [ www.gpo.gov ] {time} 1110 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. ____________________
