Wow that sucks....at least nobody got hurt.

That is a great picture, I wonder how long it took to create on photoshop...

So a hook up resulted in lost tackle, cooler, rods, personal effects, BOAT, and of course the fish.
At least no loss of life, presuming the fish got off free and clear.

This story has actually been bouncing around for quite awhile. There are alot more pictures than this, and people on another site seem to have it on pretty high authority that it is true. Afew theories... the starboard engine got stuck in reverse, for one... also look at the guy in the tuna tower, would be a crazy hard photoshop job...

I have seen some amazing photoshop work in my day.. Idk about this.. kinda hard to believe..

[Capt. Debbie]

I agree with that suggestion.

Weird how of a coincidence is that the Marlin is jumping out of the water in EVERY single picture. And the wihite water prop wash is on the wrong side of the boat like it's being towed sideways ( the fish is in back of the boat).

What's wrong with this picture(s)? LOTS! But it did get us to look. Right? :)

How hard is to "Shop" is a boat sinking and throw in a marlin jumping in every picture?

Looks like the boat ran up on a rock pile and sank. The fish was added to make it seem less lame. :)

Pictures are real. The boat is from the Royal Journeys Sportfishing fleet the pacific provider...

The boat was backing down in full reverse with the transom door open, which caused a rush of water and ultimately made the boat list heavily to the starboard and capsize. The pictures were taken in quick succession so the aerial acrobatics of the marlin aren't out of the ordinary...

This is why if your gonna fish with braid don't set you drag so high...youll pull the whole damn boat over!

[sportfishingusa]

try thinking about this for a minute.. Have any of you had or seen a 500lb marlin greyhound away from a boat like a maniac? if not then you dont know what it is like.


In the picture the boat is slowing going down on the starboard stern and from backing down hard the wash is going towards the boat, chances are with this boat, like so many boats like this, the wheels are either stuffed deeper up or could have been pod drives, when the boat is going under from the starboard stern corner, the wheel on the port side comes out of the water a little and starts laying sideways and still in full starts pushing water hard towards the way it is hanging out of the water.

Many people have commented on this elsewhere, some people there first hand claiming it did happen. If you think about it all, the series looks 100 percent real, unless the guy on the port stern corner hanging onto the gunnel for dear life is just sea sick and throwing up while they fight a big fat marlin :rolleyes: :rolleyes:

Never Fall down While backing up on a big fish.....whoa!

First rule of boating.... Keep people in and water out :D

[HDMarc]

Pound for pound, that was the most expensive black marlin ever NOT caught:(

[SaltLife1980]

Idk about this...:confused: :rolleyes:

[dfish28]

So rule #2 would be what?
Maybe close the transom door!!

[Capt Sal]

Pretty strong braid to sink a boat lmfao:p
