A $1 million boat crashed and sank over the weekend during a fishing tournament off the Texas coast, and another fisherman alleges it's because the captain had put the vessel on autopilot while he was measuring his catch. Got ‘M On, the 61-foot sports fishing boat, collided with Lady Toni, a 79-foot shrimping boat, about 45 miles out from Port O’Connor Saturday afternoon during The Lone Star Shootout fishing tournament, the Victoria Advocate reports. “We helped grab them off the boat and put them on our boat,” Wright told the Advocate. “Everyone was all right, and that’s what’s important,” Wright told the Advocate.
