From what I have read, it was legit.. the guy is a commercial, and had a big load of fish in his boxes.. I doubt he's going to scuttle a nice 26 CC in the middle of a busy heavily used Florida inlet to teach "how not to" lessons online.
I would think the Florida DEC would have something to say about sinking his boat in the middle of the inlet on purpose.. The boat DID go to the bottom, according to some of the articles I read about it.... bob
