Raiders Linebacker Marquis Cooper Lost at Sea

Marquis Cooper, the Oakland Raiders linebacker, has not yet returned from a fishing trip that was supposed to end on Saturday. There are three other people along with the 26-year old Cooper on the 21-foot boat.

Cooper is known to be an avid fisherman hooked on to saltwater fishing. Two boats and 50 fishing poles testimony to his love for fishing. No interview or information on his biggest catch though.

The 21-foot center console boat left Clearwater Pass early Saturday morning with Cooper and his friends onboard. The Coast Guard started a search for them at around 1:30 am using a 47-foot boat and a helicopter. However, it is a 750-mile area west of Clearwater Pass that the Coast Guard had to cover and that too in increasingly bad weather condition.
