Looks like the boat ran up on a rock pile and sank. The fish was added to make it seem less lame.
Pictures are real. The boat is from the Royal Journeys Sportfishing fleet the pacific provider...

The boat was backing down in full reverse with the transom door open, which caused a rush of water and ultimately made the boat list heavily to the starboard and capsize. The pictures were taken in quick succession so the aerial acrobatics of the marlin aren't out of the ordinary...

try thinking about this for a minute.. Have any of you had or seen a 500lb marlin greyhound away from a boat like a maniac? if not then you dont know what it is like.


In the picture the boat is slowing going down on the starboard stern and from backing down hard the wash is going towards the boat, chances are with this boat, like so many boats like this, the wheels are either stuffed deeper up or could have been pod drives, when the boat is going under from the starboard stern corner, the wheel on the port side comes out of the water a little and starts laying sideways and still in full starts pushing water hard towards the way it is hanging out of the water.

Many people have commented on this elsewhere, some people there first hand claiming it did happen. If you think about it all, the series looks 100 percent real, unless the guy on the port stern corner hanging onto the gunnel for dear life is just sea sick and throwing up while they fight a big fat marlin
