Rich Harbour, Mark Martinson, and Harold Walker
In the fall of 1967 Rich went fishing with Harold Walker and Mark Martinson. They didn’t catch anything all day. So on the way in they spotted a striped marlin. Harold maneuvered the boat and Rich let out the bait. Wham! The rod did a C and the fight was on. Doing a couples of pumps while reeling in, the first of many. The marlin would take off and Captain Walker was on it. Watching to see if it was running out or in. The first hour went by, and Rich’s shoulders arms and back were starting to feel the toll. After the 2nd hour Rich was tired but was close to landing the marlin. The line on the reel was full on the spool and Mark took the leader and carefully grabbed the bill and gaffed the marlin. With a heave ho onto the stern of the boat. One 102 lbs. Stripe Marlin was landed and Rich was one happy fisherman.
