Thousands of dead fish are floating in the Mississippi Sound after two fish spills from pogy boats. The Department of Marine Resources says 400,000 dead fish are floating in two areas; one about 2.5 to 3 miles south of Long Beach, the other south of Waveland.

Doesn't ring true at all. Boats like that would have radar that would detect underwater debris.
At a guess I'd say that the captain realised he couldn't land what he had caught for fear of prosecution and so dumped it over the side.
But whether or not that is true, as a method of fishing that's reprehensible.
