Anytime I have attempted to fish, I wind up catching the smallest fish possible.

Not once have I been the guy who caught a fish that was good enough to photograph and show off.

One fisherman was able to catch one of the largest fish you will ever see.

According to the Facebook page Waiopai Sport Fishing Charters, a fisherman caught a 1,368-pound blue marlin.

It's unreal how big this marlin is.

ESPN's twitter did point out a funny fact.

According to ESPN:

This beauty weighed in at a whopping 1,368 pounds. Marlin? More like a whale.

That's heavy enough to earn this big bubba the title of largest blue marlin caught off Kona in 23 years -- the eighth-largest blue marlin ever caught in Hawaii.
