Yeah this is old. And a fairy tale.
It's well known than the pilot slipped on the deck and slammed the stbd engine into full power reverse.
A 400 lb marlin cannot flip a 20,000 lb sport fisher.
And even if there was something that could flip it, that something couldn't do it using fishing line.

Seems the marlin still won.

shhhhhh @Skipper I read the entire story. The marlin did assist in the sinking, by pulling the starboard aft right.

PS: The boat builder has spent a long time explaining too.

Although justsomeguy is technically correct

Did I ever say the marlin sunk the boat? I just though it was humorous and shared it. BTW Snopes is frequently wrong. Here is my link...

Also a good video on how now to drive a power boat.
