Mick Sampson, who grew up in Middlesex County, was one of two mates on the boat Widespread that won the Big Rock Marlin fishing tournament in Morehead City, N.C., on June 18.
Widespread was trolling more than 80 miles from land. Sampson was working the port (left) side of the boat when a hungry marlin spotted the bait skimming the surface of the water.
