John G. (Jack) Samson (March 19, 1922 - March 18, 2007) was an author who wrote books, mostly on saltwater fly fishing.
He held the fly-rod world record for roosterfish and was the first known fly fisherman in the world to catch Atlantic sailfish, Pacific sailfish and all five species of marlin on a fly. His favorite pursuit was fly fishing for permit, a tricky gamefish of the Yucatan peninsula.
