It’s the classic battle of fish versus boat

You’ve heard it before: man gets boat, boat goes to sea, boat catches fish. Usually the next part is boat beats fish, followed by man eats fish. Not this time. Sadly, no.

A fisherman off Panama managed to hook a large marlin, and as per the usual routine, began to back down. Unfortunately, the captain of the boat slipped and fell, resulting in the hooked marlin taking control of the boat. From the sea. The boat took on way more water than was necessary (the correct amount is any) and was sunk. Luckily, there are some positives to be taken from this:

  • The marlin couldn’t have survived, as it was attached to a sinking boat. So there’s that.
