The following are excerpts from snopes.com.  It was captain error while backing down.

"According to that poster, the marlin's role in the incident was indirect, and the boat's sinking was a freak accident caused by sea conditions — while the captain was "backing down" on the fish (i.e., putting the boat in reverse to help reel in line), a large wave came over the stern and knocked him off-balance, causing him to inadvertently knock the throttle into full reverse and thereby swamp the boat."

"Direct from Panama I was told that the sea conditions were not as calm as they seem to be in the pictures, and the captain was an experienced captain. The seas were full of big swells and large waves. A large wave came over the transom, and with the anglers all being in the starboard corner, the boat leaned and the captain in the tower lost his footing. While the boat was still in reverse, another wave came over the transom. At this time the captain slipped and [was] believed to still have his hand on the throttle, putting the boat in full reverse [and] burying the transom into the next waves and swells. You can see how this might happen; as you know, when fighting a fish the captain is facing aft with his hand on the throttles and when slipped the last thing your hand is holding onto is the throttle controls."
