Oh, what a day, oh happy day, what a day to fish for Marlin. Captain Olter wished me luck I had told him that Marlln was on the top my bucket list but that I was running out of time I am 83 years old and I am experiencing Parkinson’s disease.. His response was, “Don’t worry, we will take care of you”. I had selected Captain Olter’s charter because of all the positive commentary he had received from other charters. My wife, our daughter and son-in-law and the three grandchildren had arranged for a charter on Sunday all of us could be on the boat. The kids enjoyed the ride tremendously and the crew made all of us satisfied and pleased..We
caught about 10 mahi-mahi and two Bonito Bonita .Needless to oh to say we had a very tasty dinner that evening

Although the day has been delightful for everyone and we celebrated a little bit that night. I still did not have the Marlin that I had been after. I felt like I was running out of time. .One more night or one more day and the chance would have run its course. Based on the number of Marlin in port I got quite nervous about the opportunity to catch a Marlin. My son-in-law, Ren was eager for the day to be a success. He wanted to take one home if we could and we agreed that he could have his Marlin So if we get a good catch and release what everr
else we caught.  I’m not sure why I was so confiden.t It helped Ihat Captain Ertl waved us away from the dock with a chance of Marlon Marlo

Captain Omar headed along the Pacific west coast and we began to troll. We had it whatI think of as south west and in the first hour ran and I each caught a mahi-mahi .after that there was not much action the captain gave us a couple of mahi-mat to Ren went into the cabin and went to sleep. I , the other hand sat and kept the captain and our deck and McDowell turn the boat and headed South west at that point the deck and put some special lures and promise me that we would catch some Marlon soon at that point the deckhand put some special lures and promised me that we would catch some more along with those lures an hour went by and I was beginning to lose Faith.All all of a sudden the captain Hollers"Marlon: and the deckhand went into motion :big fish, big fish” he cried out loud as he pushed me up onto the captains chair. I could not see the Marlin; but I could could feel the shutter of the fish as is traveled as far as the line would allow him or her Ren came out from under the cabin and soundly in the other chair seal the shutter of the fish acid thrashed its way across the horizon 000 what a joy Ren came out from under the cabin and settle in the other chair as we agreed upon I gave him the real about halfway through gathering that Fishin he did an excellent job of finishing off the fish and the first night and Ren brought the fishing board whereupon they bludgeoned to death don’t do that just getting ready as they were pulling in fish number 1 fish. Number two bit on my watch and I began to pull him or her in D deckhand moved us over so bad I was sitting on the porch porch and Ren was sitting on the starboard we have a picture of both of us with the deckhand rearranged us so that I was on the port I’m sure I park and he was on the starboard I had my “Ahab” moment as I l.ooked into the Marllins eyes are deckhand switched Ren and myself at that time and I’m hooked another. This may have been the strongest Marlin that we had hooked As the first one had   this one had shuddered what made me think it wat and that was that took the longest time to get into the area of the boat I had been on the fish for about a half an hour when I gave it to Ren to bring it on my side if you have any idea about sailing with Ursula fishing let me reassure you that you cannot do any better than chapter Walter and his Ursula fishing crew remind me that I’m done
