Huge Hooked Marlin Sinks Boat
This didn't happen in Baja, but I'm sure it is an interesting story to Baja anglers. The marlin is so large it sinks the fishing boat!
Everyone on board was rescued.

Well,, There you GO !!
Backing down on a fish enough to take on Water,, dosnt entitle the guy running the boat to be called a captain !! more like FOOL, would be best used
in this case !!! and on a side note: you can get hurt (Bigtime) fishing !!boats and folks have been speared from marlin and a WAHoo, can take a finger
off and you might not noticed it even happened till you see blood !!

The fish had nothing to do with the stupid captain sinking the boat.

Not impossible even for smart guys (like me). Back in the day, we were trying to get a BIG grouper into a 16 foot tin boat...2 fishermen and big
grouper in one back corner of the boat, transom went under...Fortunately the dumbest of the three (that would be me) fell out of the boat backards,
saving the day....
