SEA what happens when you mess with our big fish! Ha! -Sadly for the boat, it's said to have sunk to the bottom and the fish - who made a visible skip across the waves long after the boat was gone - may forever be known simply as 'the one that got away.

Holy Moly!!!! Now that was a fish!!! That would have been scary! I have been in those waters down there and it's bad enough just sitting still on a boat without any waves say nothing about trying to catch a fish this big in a boat this size! The captain for sure screwed up when backing the boat up! Lots of money down the drain so to speak!

Thats what you call payback.I wish that would happen to all the fisherman and scum hunters only with a 100% death rate on the part of humans
