When my good friend Loran turned 75 last weekend, I figured we should go out and do something he hasn't been able to in 65 years of offshore fishing here in San Diego.
First things first, get the old man hooked up. That happened 4 1/2 hours into the day.
15 minutes in, he's getting tired and has to sit down to rest the back.
25 minutes in we're at deep color.
30 minutes in, we accomplished our goal for the day. Got the old man his first marlin. Happy birthday buddy. Sorry about dumping the second fish. Yes we had a double going!
