From what I've read Mush Morton was such a guy. He didn't have the problems other skippers reported... well at least at the beginning.
Shortly before Wahoo was sunk the bad luck cought up with him and he had a lot of duds. That unsettled him quite a bit and some people say that this is one of the causes why Wahoo was sunk.
