Member, Jack Sampson’s fishing boat used to capture largest Blue Marlin caught in 2014 so far.

The fish you see in the photo is Kona and the world’s largest Blue Marlin caught so far in 2014. It was caught by the charter boat Nasty Habit on March 27 . Posing with the 1211 pound blue marlin is Captain David Unger. Nasty Habit is owned by Gail and Jack Sampson PS, the angler was Mr Robert Steffens visiting Kona from Michigan.

This fish was caught in approximately 700 fathoms of water off  the coast of South Kona. This” grander “as its called was too large to bring aboard the boat . It had to be tied to back of the boat and towed back to the harbor.
