I was always waiting for something like this to happen after watching so many YouTube videos on USA & Australian Captains Backing Up on hooked Marlin and filling the rear of the Sport Fishers with sea water right to the Gunnels =

"Backing Up so hard that the Captain lost control and the water in the rear of the boat pulled it over and down under to sink"

The very Latest on this is that the Captain / Skipper slipped while Backing Up under speed while on the Tuna Tower - he could not recover and gain control of the boat again - it did sink and all Crew and Captain was saved by the boat that was taking these pictures

The boat sank after the last picture and the boat that was taking these pictures rescued the Captain and Crew
The boat was lost
