The hideous part is no one is likely to believe their story. I’m still trying to determine if it’s the greatest fishing yarn ever told – or a someone’s worst nightmare.
I can’t possibly do the story justice – or embellish it, it’s too good already.
Weekend fishermen crash a 46′ WellCraft into a poorly lit Tuna pen in international waters, causing incident with three different governments, and while the impasse unfolds – they break out the tackle and slurp tuna while gunboats and helicopters posture on the high seas?
I’d say they made the best of a bad situation, fortunately there’s plenty of pictures and narrative to substantiate the account.
Amazing.

The ESPN story was a bit more balanced, and after reading it, I was willing to pronounce these guys “utter morons.”
Awesome story.
