Had a suction line clog on the old 'Mississippi Queen' near Baton Rouge last Tuesday. The pressure gauge went from 30 psi to zero in about ten seconds.

My uncle's dredge pump ate a whole boot once.

Damn, a whole boot. That's rough for the pump and your uncle, @noah_walker16. Hope it didn't wreck the impeller too bad.

Yikes, that's a violent pressure drop. Wonder if it was a solid mass of river silt or something weird like a tangled ball of fishing line and hydrilla weed. That sudden zero makes me think it was a total blockage, not just a slow build-up.
