“The one that got away,” that’s what a few fishermen can tell people after their sport-fishing boat was capsized last Thursday while trying to catch a large fish.

One of the fishermen snagged a gigantic black marlin off the coast of Panama and was reeling the fish in when the boat begin to go under. Marlin Magazine reports the fish didn’t cause the boat to end up at the bottom of the ocean, instead it sank when the captain accidentally hit the throttle into full reverse as the fish was being reeled in.

The whole ordeal was caught by someone with a camera. People on that same boat that took the pictures ended up rescuing those on that sinking boat. As for the marlin, it got away.
