"Not in my house," the fish reportedly said.

The Cards are among the most experienced marlin fishermen in the world.

This was not an accident.

It was a counterattack.

Huh, a new take on the man bites dog story.

[dersepp]

Wasn't there a movie with one of the old Hollywood crowd (Milton Berle/Sid Caesar) impaled by such a fish? He told a long story before being put under to remove the thing.

[ As the fish dived, forcing Mr Card under water, he was able to push himself off the razor-sharp bill and swim to the surface. ]

Razor sharp???... not hardly.. more like a screw driver.. except much bigger..
Remember this next time you make silly faces at the fish..
They don't like it..

I nearly got the same thing when I hooked my 2nd sailfish.
Had the thing near the stern when he made a surging leap from behind and nearly speared me as he jumped out of the water at me. I jumped out of the way and watched him slide down the companionway, scared the pooh out of me.

This is obviously one of the Marlins which is evolving to eat mammals that venture out over the water.

Shalom.

ping...

OUCH!!

[dalereed]

Not that unusual except for getting impaled by it.

I had a striped marlin come across the transom and exit over the side fishing marlin in Baja.

It missed me by about a foot, only an idiot just stands there with their mouth open and lets it get him.
