The History:
A sport-fishing boat off the coast of Panama capsized last Thursday after someone aboard the boat snagged a gigantic black marlin. Photos of the ordeal posted to Facebook make it seem as though the monstrous fish sank the boat as it was being reeled aboard.
According to Marlin Magazine, which obtained the epic pics and uploaded them to Facebook, the fish didn't actually play a role in sinking the boat, though the boat did eventually end up on the bottom of the ocean. Instead, the captain had been "backing down" on the fish, a practice where the boat is put in reverse to help reel in line. A large wave overtook the stern, upsetting the captain's balance, which caused him to slip backwards and accidentally hit the throttle into full reverse. This rapid movement in reverse ended up swamping the yacht and sinking it.
A person claiming to be a spokesman for the boat manufacturer, Strike Yachts, took to boating forum The Hull Truth to offer a similar take on the incident:
Direct from Panama I was told that the sea conditions were not as calm as they seem to be in the pictures and the Captain was an experienced Captain. The seas were full of big swells and large waves. A large wave came over the transom and with the anglers all being in the starboard corner the boat leaned... the Captain in the tower lost his footing [and] while the boat was still in reverse another wave came over the transom. At this time, the captain slipped and, believed to still have his hand on the throttle, putting the boat in full reverse burying the transom into the next waves and swells.
Black marlin have a reputation for being among of the largest, most difficult fish to catch. The BBC has labeled the creature, which can weigh as much as 2,000 pounds, the "fastest fish on the planet." Indeed, black marlin can reach a top speed of 80 mph.
No one aboard the boat was harmed, and they were soon rescued by the same boat that captured the event on camera. As for the fish, that has to be one happy marlin. The one that got away. - บันเทิง
The marlin has the boat mounted on his living room wall.
Now that's funny!
Hahaha
🤣
Not this boat, but when telling about the one that got away, it was a whaling boat and he pulled it to the bottom, before the hook lost it's grip.
LOL
And like every fishing story, that marlins got no chance of convincing his friends about the size of the boat that got away.
😁🤣😂😁🤣😂😁🤣😂😳🤣😂👌🏻👍🏼
Awesome comment. Kudos.
He’s like damm it was huge
It was THISSS big!!! I SWEAR!!!
It didn’t get away tho
I spent 5 years in the Navy and things can escalate from all normal to fighting for your life in a couple of heartbeats.
😎🧜🇺🇸🙏THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE 🙏
I see no correlation between the marlin itself and the sinking... More like human error while a marlin was Hooked at the same time 😛
If the boat had not hooked the marlin it would not have gone under.No fish, no underwater boat. Simple as that.
@@spiderdavis3296 truer words have never been spoken
They over reacted by gunning vessel in reverse.
Self sinking! Really dumb! Poor damn Marlin probably has that hook still in the throat. If this is "sport" then why not take on a 40 ft Orca to learn what happens! Boom!
@@spiderdavis3296 So... The invention of boats is the root cause. No boat, no underwater boat. Still not the fishes fault...
They talked about swarming waves, but photo showed a pretty calm sea. The waves had nothing to do with sinking the boat. Full power in reverse could sink most convertible fishing boats, if allowed to remain in reverse.
Maybe captain needed a harness to keep him at the helm?
CUT THE KINE''' THROW POLE N REEL IN OCEAN...HELLLO DUMMMBBB
Help me understand this backing down on fish thing.... WHY? Seem like it would be smarter to just keep fighting or to turn the boat and put the fish at a 2 o clock position and go forward while circling in towards the fish. Certainly backing down at 5 knots cant make so much of a difference that it is worth risking sinking a boat like this!
@@austinwilliams9592 A badass boat. Expensive!! What a loss.
@@austinwilliams9592 most boats now have self draining decks now. Besides, it’s not exactly easy to just turn around a boat of that size without additional stress on the line. And sometimes when your reel is almost completely spooled, you just gotta either get spooled and loose the fish, , or man up, throw the the bitch in reverse, and accept the consequences for chasing the fish!
I was in a tournament earlier this year… you know what the first place winner took home?
$92,000,000!
Yeah! That boat won ninety two million dollars! Plus sponsorships!
If he had insurance…?
It was worth it!
@@probiethetank8825 You forgot to correct yourself on this one. I'd still like to know that the 9.2 tourney was.
Reminds me of that huge Scandinavian fishing boat that caught millions of Herring in a giant net and was about to hoist them out of the water with the crane on the side of the boat, but the Herring suddenly sounded (dove to the bottom) all at once and created such a collective downward force that they pulled the ship over on its side, and it sank! First ship ever sunk by fish.
Finding nemo/dory ?
I'm sure it's not the first...
"Swim DOWN!!! SWIM DOWN!!! SWIM DOWN!!!"
The title should read "Clumsy captain sinks boat while marling fishing!"
That marlin will be at the "Billfish Bar" every afternoon telling his buddies about the ones that got away...
This EXACT thing almost happened to me and two other guys off O'ahu. We just hooked a HUGE marlin and the captain, following seas, threw it in reverse to save the line from breaking because the fish was so strong it was ripping line off the reel like nobodys business. Sure enough the waves dumped water in the back of the boat and submerged the motors. GOD was on our side that day. The boat rose back up on the next wave trough without any throttle reaction from the captain, who was stupefied from both circumstances (boat sinking & huge fish). Stripey broke the line 30 minutes later thanks to another idoit horsing in the line by hand with a bad attitude. Thankful to fish another day though. Respect the Ocean. Aloha.
So like, you left a fish with a hook in his mouth and dragging line dipshit?
Respect the nature
What npc still believes in god 🤣
@@erzrdude you no can
Good to see! One notch for the Marlin!
When the Marlin got back to port, it had the boat craned up on on the end of a massive hook and rope for all to see it’s magnificent catch !!
Better titled Captain sinks boat while attempting to catch Marlin.
Marlin scoffs a creator of title.
Agree, it wasn’t the marlin. These boats aren’t designed to go full throttle reverse in even the lightest swell or chop without taking on lots of water
Yel
Yep
You almost nailed that to a “t.”
Yeah, the channel owner is an ass clown, yall should swap names.
Score one for Mother Nature!
+Searia Kett AMEN!
Well presented! Thanks for the excitement.
it should read "Captain sinks Fishing boat" instead....
Clickbait Titles
I don't whether the person who uploaded the video doesn't understand what actually happened (by common sense and as told by the annotations in the video itself) or if the person just used that dramatic (but false) title to get views. The Marlin didn't sink the boat. The boat's captain meant to go into reverse only slightly (according to the annotations in the video) but supposedly slipped and put the boat into full reverse causing the backwash of water to come over the back of the boat thus submerging the entire back of the boat. That's what lead to the sinking of the boat, not the fish. While a fish that size is extremely powerful, it's not going to pull a boat like that under the water. It's also not going to be able to pull a boat that size backwards fast enough or with enough force to submerge the back of the boat. The line or tackle would likely break (or they would intentionally cut it) before something like that came close to happening even if the fish was big enough.

good to see one of these magnificent creatures win for once.
i am wondering if it can release itself from the hook
The boat came down from taking on water while backing into the fish. The fist didn't bring the boat down the captain did.
great catch by the MARLIN, has to happen more with all the new technology good to see
mother nature still has ( sometimes) a chance
There's no way a marlin can sink a boat. My brother caught a 508 pounds blue marlin on a 13' Boston Whaler years ago. I think it's still a record... In the pictures, the sea was almost flat. 100% captain error!
A 13 inch Boston whaler is a very small boat!
People yak fish some pretty sturdy marlin, so... Yeah. you can bring in a big fish in a little boat, but that big fish can flip that boat easily if you aren't prepared to handle business.
However, the fish didn't sink this boat, the pursuit of it did. there is a line, and on one side of it (above the water) is where 95% of the chips are held when it comes to human lives. I'm sure you've figured this out in the last 5 years.
I Highly Doubt if a 508 pound Marlin, or your brother can fit on a 13" inch boat. 🤣🤣🤣
We're gonna need a bigger boat.🦈
Once a boat starts taking on water in this manner it is practically impossible to recover. Not as big of a boat , but the principal is the same, I sunk my Alumaweld. I slowed down and did not compensate for the wave running up behind me, what did not help is my passenger weighed 350 lbs. Once we started taking on water it was too late. Live and learn.
For a moment I thought the captain was using a new technique to reel big game fish in faster - confuse and distract them by making it look like your boat is sinking....he did such a convincing job, it even looks like he fooled his crew into thinking the boat was about to sink....
This boat has triple outboards and a very low stern freeboard. The first mistake was to throw it hard into reverse. Even inboards will throw water into the cockpit when backing down in full reverse (watch some other videos). The second problem is that these boats are much lighter than they used to be. Higher, heavier engines (outboard V-6 or V-8 blocks weigh as much as car engines but there are three here, and are above the deck compared with inboards below it) combined with the fat guy on the marlin tower means that the center of gravity and related tipping point for this boat are much higher than deck level. If you climb up a mast on a small sailboat, you will likely tip it over. Same principal applies here. So the captain made a series of mistakes. First, he backed down too hard. Second, he turned while backing down which caused the initial dunking. And third, he failed to quickly get the boat into neutral and get off of the tower, which is what ultimately sank the boat. The marlin actually had nothing to do with the boat sinking as the pull on the line could never provide enough leverage to tip over a boat this size. It was all captain's error.
there are clearly no outboards on the back of this boat... check at 1:05 mark. You can even see in the same shot the inboard propeller under the vessel kicking up white water. inboard engines with shafts are traditionally angled down, so when you reverse hard they are pulling the vessels stern down too... all you need is a small wave over the transom and the additional water weight inside the cockpit will amplify the problem.
Fucken idiot
3 Outboards hahahaha fml
Its a fucking tournament boat
It will have 2 deisel engines
If not obviosly one
How can you see outboards
It was either the rudder or the stabiliser system haha
Fuckwit
Should be captioned, "Idiot sinks boat"
f you
@@gabriellekreller9639 Lol it's true that idiot sunk his own boat, why you mad? Was the idiot who sunk his own boat your boyfriend or something? lololol
It looks kinda photoshopped lol
NC Bowhunter14 it is
Operator error. The fish had nothin to do with that rig goin down.
I manufactured the fish.
This right here !
""I"m gonna show em who's boss. Which is mightier, the rod or my spear. The answer is obvious. See you in Davy Jones Locker."" -- The Marlin
Later than morning the Marlin was seen flying a flag with the picture of a Sportfisher on it......
The title is wrong. It should be: "Captain Sinks Fishing boat."
Well done mr.Marlin!
hope the fish was ok........
Good to see the fish win the battle, Hope he has his new trophy hung high somewhere down in the abyssal plain
If someone's taking a video; it's nice to know that they put the camera down to rescue the captain & crew!
Yep
Fantastic, I love it 🤣🙂👍👍
Maybe someone who knew how to pilot a boat should have been at the helm.
maybe you should shutup you turd

The captain run the boat back with the transom door open... then happens what you said... the fish didn´t have anything to do with it... lucky fish...

"The White Marlin" Part IV. The monster of the deep strikes again!🤣
Always a joy for me when all ends badly for fishermen, hunters, bullfighters, etc… Love it !
A real man will never, ever, EVER kill for fun, rather.
That’s why I love it when fuc*ed.
The captain sunk the boat, not the Marlin.
Great photo manipulation works! Looking almost like real.
I love the last picture where they say the marlin is jumping where the boat once was floating and yet you can see the outriggers of the boat still in the picture. Do we even know if the boat sank?
@@angusmcdugal1 I'm still trying to figure out who was just hanging out taking all the photos while a boat sinks, so I'm guessing photo shop. ?????
Smh anything for a like
The Marlin is such a Beautiful and fantastic fish!
Boat - Marlin, Result: 0 - 1
petereuropa Bot - Marlin 185 Millions to 1.....
yeh total fucking liar
trophy fishing should be banned, bloody cruel too
poor marlin, damned to die with awful pain of the hook, that no one removed 😖
Fish is still hooked,can it survive that way?
I love this.
GO MARLINS@!!! Miami Fl,
The title is misleading. The marlin did not sink the boat. Pilot error sunk the boat.
They don't need a bigger boat. They need a better Captain
I see no evidence here that the fish sank that boat- just a happy fish glad to see its would be captors sinking. In fact I'd argue that there's almost no way that fish could sink that boat judging from size
yea but it did
I love it. Those people are not hungry. Just massive egos.
Nice one nature
Hurray for the Marlin
What's more foolish: the fact that the person taking these pictures didn't help or the fact that they didn't take a VIDEO?!
Glad the marlin got away
Any one here a Miami or Florida Marlins fan
Maybe the solution is to keep a supply of life jackets on board, and provide an extra fluffy Life Jacket for the person who hooks a Giant Marlin. Once hooked, the angler should jump into the water to act as a buoy and to keep the boat from tipping over.
Bout time a marlin got away and got revenge for all those before him 👏
This might be a stupid question, but why not turn the boat around with on engine in foward the other in reverse and follow the fish bow first instead of backing down in reverse, especially if positioned for following sea
"We're gonna need a bigger boat"-Cheif Brody
The title should read, : Guy operating boat, sinks it in reverse, as fish watch.
That's a mighty expensive adventure , once in a lifetime.
Please tell me they managed to release the Marlin at least....the thought of it going down with the boat still attached to the line and rod....which would be in a harness.....hmmm..not good
Good thing that Marlin didn't know it could get some serious payback
There's nothing like being on a sinking ship with a tethered marlin flailing nearby. Double fail.
No matter If The Captain Reverse Sank the Vessel or Marlins Revenge LOL Awesome.Hope they were all saved and saved. Maybe Having a Real Capt on Board would have Helped..........Maybe Photo Shopped. lol

Now that's a nice fish story!
That will teach folks that you don’t need to back down so hard……boats aren’t designed to go fast in reverse.
cut the line, full throttle forward and bail with every pump you got running
perhaps no engines due to such a dunking
They didn't want to let him go. Probably tried to snag him and the boat lopsided too quick
Love it. Serves them right
What's worse is that it is FLAT ASS CALM!
Good!
Awesome vid ..... oh right
The Marlin donated the crew and boat to a local food bank.
The title of this video should say,
" Loose nut behind the wheel causes boat to sink ".
The Marlin told his buddy to “hold his beer and watch”
Marlin in the last photo: Have a nice day!
Glad the fish won.
They should pull the Marlin with that boat instead of the Marlin pulling the boat down XD
1:36 - ummmm, "...where the boat once floated...", implying that the boat sunk? You can clearly see the outriggers of the boat on the left of the shot. Either this photo was taken prior to the sinking, or the boat never actually sunk. Or...did you simply mean that at one point in time, the boat was actually floating at that spot where the marlin is now jumping?
You know I was debating on whether or not to comment in respects to this scenario however as I continue to read post after post and finally reached your post I thought that your analogy is quite interesting. . And with that being said I would like to first of all express that I'm not saying I'm right and everyone else' s thoughts are off the rocker. The bottom line is this is definitely not something to joke about because it's a very stressful situation in general and I wouldn't wish it to happen to even my worst enemy. So intern I do a lot of fishing you know trolling a big bodies of water you know Great lakes and I know that's not anything like being on the ocean deep sea fishing however when your trolling on the water either flat lining or using multiple setups in general the same type of scenario here or there just as if your actually fishing in the ocean and performing the same adjustments and you know you always hear about the story about boats sinking because of how the situation was and how the skipper made one to many wrong moves or mistakes consecutively that creates the problem on the water. I know that there's so many different scenarios that can happen being on the water and sometimes having the knowledge of thinking about the bad things probably can save your life just to be aware of what to do if indeed your put or are in the scenario and it happens. But I still find it just really difficult to put in perspective of what's happening here It just seems so far fetched because I don't know it just seems actually pretty fishy LOL I'm not saying it can't happen but however it is quite difficult to sink those boats believe it or not they're so full of Styrofoam and shit like that in the holes but yeah anyways that's why I just questioned it and again I'm not saying it can't happen it just seems odd in this scenario especially with the fish which clearly I don't believe has anything to do with the problem they're in
That marlin's buddy's are never going to believe his " I sank that freakin boat, they thought they caught me , I caught them " .
It said he may have slipped, and pinned it in reverse...accidents can happen to anyone. But this is frigging terrible.!! Can you imagine how they went from Yippee to Oh crAP in about one second?
Tough Shit for the losers.
that fish is a legend now!!
So the mistake of the captain sank the boat not the fish ........ THUMBS DOWN
that fish had nothing to do with the sinking , the captain backed up and scooped up a massive amount of water , not only that , he did not power it forward while he still had time .
you can clearly see he is not even on the helm !
it's preposterous to even think you can pull a boat under with a fishing line .
Backing the boat down on a fish to ensure the client gets the catch is just unsportsmanlike and greedy. Fight the fish, not use horsepower.
You obviously never caught a marlin
wow.......Fish On !!!
The marlin didn't sink the boat, the captain did!
Who took the pictures?
Most marlin boats and centre consoles are not made to take a cockpit full of water which is a massive design flaw. The Australian built custom boats are. The scuppers are a huge central grill in the cockpit floor and dump water through oversize pumps. The boats are made to back up hard on 1000lb marlin in very rough water (the season is only 8 weeks long and they make no money if they dont fish every day plus the anglers fly in from America and they are not paying big bucks to sit in a marina) a captain of a very well renown Australian custom vessel is on record here on a TH-cam interview saying how dangerous it was backing up hard on marlin in a late model 60 odd foot viking in the conditions off the Great Barrier Reef. Heart in mouth stuff he said. No No No.
Who took those pictures?
i love it now the fish has a story about the one that almost got away he is jumping out of the water saying NEXT TIME we will use better beer
Marlins don't "prance". He was thrashing above water trying to save his own life.
Disliked for misleading title... click bait!
That's one BAD ASS!!! Fish.
GO MARLIN !! Did anyone have the decency to remove the hook from his mouth? You went to kill it and lost.
Your goin to need a bigger boat 😳
The marlin had nothing to do with the boat vaporizing and sinking , it's the captain or pilot of the boat backing down too fast on the fish thus taking on excessive water over the transom , negligence on his part alone caused the sinking ...
Helped the fish bust loose
Reminds me of the Ernest Hemingway movie "The Old Man and the Sea"
Marlin 1 Boat 0 Bet the Marlin family will be talkin bout this for a long time - the boat that didn't get away!
I bet his wife said, "I told you so!"
Captains fault not the boat. People need to understand things happen on the water real quick. One mistake and you're in the drink
yep
Skipper now flipping burgers. 🍔
