I know a lot of people from NJ fish all over for tuna. Just heard the Maximus out of Puerta Vallarta sank last night a couple hundred miles from San Diego. Thank Goodness all crew were saved. Myself, and some guys from NJ..Greg Hueth, Pete, Chuck and John Cassagrande along with Pete O'Neill were onboard mid March for a 3.5 day trip. Can Anyone confirm or know details?

That is correct. Go www.10news.com/news a San Diago news station. The crew was saved by a tug about 350 miles from home.

What were the odds a tug would be cruising by 350 miles off shore at the time of the accident. Amazing everyone was saved! Scary stuff!

A tug from the same dock towing parts of the Space Shuttle!
