You can of course put a lot of water into a boat while backing down incorrectly, but it would take a LOT of water to swamp that boat!

And even 200lb line would break before that happened.

I have all of the answers, yup, no, maybe.

The story says the skipper fell and backed down to much. In a following sea that would ship water but I don't think enough to sink the boat. No way a marlin beats 2 inboards.

I call PhotoShop.... >:(
It may not be very productive,
but it's sure going to be interesting!

Not photoshopped. Actually happened. Captain error. Was backing down on the marlin when he lost his footing and then lost control. Swamped the boat and down it went.
:D I talk with every part I send out and each reel I repair so that they perform at the top of their game. :D

backing down refers to backing up the boat up

I don't see any white horse meaning the sea state is calm. And no boat should capsized even at full astern unless its a very serious design flaw. I suspect this is photoshop.

Really, it's not.  Search the web, you will find the full article.

Anything, and I mean ANYTHING! Can happen at sea. Maybe he had a bilge already compromised? Bad pump? Who knows. I hope they were alright? The boat and gear is replaceable. It may sting for awhile but not the cost of injury or loss of life.

Not sure what the video was showing (aside from the original photos), as there are two distinctly different boats shown in the stills and the moving footage.
Seems a bit of a 'mash-up' movie (which I think kids these days call 'trolling')  ;) ;D

If this really happened, I'd like what he's having ;D. That's why I like CCs
