kickingfrog Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I'm skeptical to say the least, but it's Friday so have at 'er. http://now.msn.com/marlin-sinks-fishing-boat-off-panama-photo-gallery
BillM Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I think you can blame the captain on this one. I've seen some vids where they are going like 10mph in reverse! Crazy stuff!
fishsevern Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 What a great day to be a grouper in the area! I wonder how fish call dibs on newly sunken boats....
jedimaster Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 So you are telling me that the guy holding onto the fishing rod was strong enough to also sink the boat? I smell something fishy...
Roy Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 These things can go on forever. Go to Snopes.
kickingfrog Posted February 1, 2013 Author Report Posted February 1, 2013 So you are telling me that the guy holding onto the fishing rod was strong enough to also sink the boat? I smell something fishy... Careful now, that type of thinking would ruin Hollywood movies. You know the ones were the guy shoots a handgun with one hand and the bad guy goes flying back as the bullets hit him??? and Newton shrugs.
NAW Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 I'm not believing that a fish could flip a bout of that size..

bigugli Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 Poor boat handling in a lively chop would be my bet. Stuff a big wave in reverse and down you go
davey buoy Posted February 1, 2013 Report Posted February 1, 2013 His ass end looked a little low to start with. If he was using 80lb power pro maybe,just maybe it could pull the boat down lol.
fishindevil Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 Like billm says in his above post it has happened just like that before they jam it in reverse and chase them down !!!! Captains error for sure !! Marlins have sunk many boats in the past it's easier to do than you think if you have ever driven a big boat like that before !!!! There is some wicked videos out there of boats holing up to massive marlins and they do go for hours like Roy says !!!! It looks totally legit to me ....still must have been quite the shock ....
Dave Bailey Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 Come on guys, if you're going to mention Snopes, at least post the link! Here ya go: http://www.snopes.com/photos/hunting/marlinboat.asp
Joey Posted February 2, 2013 Report Posted February 2, 2013 Yup, Captain error on this one. I love reading the comments, my favorite one is this one: "Somewhere on a ocean continental shelf hangs a stuffed human holding a beer can"
