Marlin sinks a fishing boat.





A fisherman off Panama was battling a huge black marlin when the battle took a turn for the worse. The fish sank the boat.

Or as Marlin Magazine put it on its Facebook post, "Marlin Wins!"

Not all the details are in, but apparently the captain began backing down on the huge fish, a common practice in big-game fishing when a fish is taking line. He puts the boat in reverse to chase the fish.

One commenter on Marlin Magazine's Facebook post who apparently had some knowledge of the incident said that the captain fell as he was backing down on the fish at full throttle. The boat took on too much water and, finally, there was no correcting the situation.

Marlin Magazine reported that the boat went to the bottom of the sea and everybody on board was rescued by the photo boat. And, of course, the fish got away.


Ok, so the Captain helped it along a bit, still, I give the Marlin mad props (ha, a nautical pun!) for never giving up.

Amidst the mists and coldest frosts he thrusts his fists against the posts and still insists he sees the ghosts.

I like it when the fish wins.

Now all we need is whale pods ramming abd sinking Japanese whaling ships and we can call it a day.

Adrift within the vortex of my imagination.

Fish was still hooked though. Unless he gets off he is tied to a fething big anchor.

n'oublie jamais - It appears I now have to highlight this again.

It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion. By the juice of the brew my thoughts aquire speed, my mind becomes strained, the strain becomes a warning. It is by tea alone I set my mind in motion.

Better, lets give the whales limpet mines, and watch them play Run Silent Run Deep on those mothers.
