two fishy tales..

[isabeau]

a man sitting in his fishing boat was knocked out when a four pound sturdgeon jumped up out of the water and smacked the guy in the head, knocking him out..later taken to the hospital after his girlfriend called for help, non life threatening injuries..

a man was impaled by a fourteen foot marlin, a fist sized hole in his chest..the marlin drug the man out of the boat and under the water..the man had his arms wrapped around the marlin...finally the Captain of the boat was able to get him free...he is ok except for that hole in his chest ...which was taken care of later..

I didn't realize those were true stories until the end. 😱

Being a fisherman...

I need to know if the guy with the hole in his chest was still holding onto the marlin when the captain pulled him in. Or did the captain get him free while they were still in the water.

That marlin is still out there, he's tasted human blood. It's time we settled the score.

hmm i'm not sure...i didn't hear that part..oops

you know, if the guy's a true fisherman...

...he could place a mount for his rod inside that hole so he could have better leverage, or at least a place to put his beer. Shit, in reality, the guy's lucky to be alive.
So, how you doin'?

Reminds me of the movie The Birds. It's about time those fish started fighting back! I wonder if he hit him with a right or a left?

yea who ever thought marlin could be so dangerous? i think they have this sword like beak? what the heck do you call the thing at the end of a fish's mouth..or nose.. lol..

Ya,marlin and swordfish have a very sharp beak,and can do some real damage as this guy found out.Think i will stick to crappie and bass hehe.

On a Swordfish it's a sword

so on a Marlin maybe it's a Marlinspike?
Just guessing.
Me, I bowfish, and duck real fast.
