Huge Marlin Sinks Boat

As the rest of the article says, the marlin didn't sink the boat...the captain did. Full throttle reverse to chase the fish, captain falls, and too much water comes on board.

I just want to know who was taking the pictures! :)

Off Panama. Surely there has to be more to this story...like a bilge full of water...?

Don't know about the"idiot" part, but that captain was a rookie - like we all have been.

I think the transom door was locked so he tried to use the cockpit like a dip net!!!!!!!!

Said the capt was backing down full throttle and fell. Purdy dang nice boat too. Oh well another fine fish attractor in the bottom of the brine.
