Freedove a few rigs in shallow water looking for triple tail, but water was real dirty, couldn't even see the tip of my gun. Some guys I know shot a few though.
We caught 2 yellow fin, 1 blackfin, shot 3 lemons (should have had a few more). , and struck out on wahoo . Spent about 3 hours pulling baits, not a strike.

Enclosed Flybridge 
This is all the more reason to go Open. Capt. was likely outside behind the bridge, and his view of the bow obstructed by the enclosed bridge. No excuse, but just another reason not to risk it.
And the other one that sank. Someone mentioned they were all asleep WTF. You should always have a shift watch on the water. That is just dumb boat captaining there.

Some people with those boats have the money, but not the know-how to captain them.

He had a hired captain

I'm sure the people in this thread that can't understand how this could happen, probably have never captained a boat near a rig or while fighting a large tuna. Not making excuses for a the capt, as a professional making a mistake this big certainly shouldn't happen and he will likely lose his job over this. But high currents, strong winds/waves, a large boat acting like a sail, spinning the boat, and the commotion of fighting a big tuna. It would only take a momentary lapse of judgement for it to be too late, especially since generally you are on the up current side of the rig when fishing for tuna.

We might know each other. IRL.

Nice try, Hopefully one day I could afford a boat this size and the expenses that comes with it, but not there yet. Just experienced enough offshore to recognize some of the ignorance in this thread.

After 20 minutes, fighting a big tuna, you cant position your boat away from the rig? Something is not right about the story as posted.
Absolutely.

Wonder if it was insured.
I can't imagine a boat that new not being.

Agreed.
There are a lot of armchair captains who apparently are "experts" on this.

I've heard of hired captains with pill problems hitting barges.

I've been fishing offshore since I was 12 and have been fishing rigs for most of it. The last 6-8, I have been acting as captain for most trips. Hitting a rig is basically the most incompetent thing you can do.
Sorry, but I would be hyper-vigilant in said situation and would absolutely ensure the safety of the vessel over a moderately large yellowfin.
