Mackenzie, Ryan, Weston, and Jack, the family from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, enjoyed an eight-hour private fishing charter aboard the 35-foot Riviera Blue Water with Captain Oscar on October 12, 2026. Staying at Corazon Resort in Cabo San Lucas, the family of four experienced an exciting morning approximately three miles offshore in front of Los Arcos, catching and releasing one marlin and encountering a sailfish that struck but was not landed.
