BREVARD COUNTY, Fla. -- A Brevard County man had to go to the hospital after a 5-foot fish jumped into his boat and bit him.
Josh Landis had been fishing with friends last week. They were leaning over the edge of the boat to reel in a smaller fish when the 57-pound king mackerel jumped into their boat.
Landis said the fish tore into his hand and leg. He had to get more than a hundred stitches.

Wow, didn’t know mackerels were man eaters!
I have had the experience of reeling in a small bluegill and a big largemouth bass strike and clamp on to the bluegill. Rather startling!

Man’s gotta learn to use a fishing line, hook and bait. Come to think of it, he might design a lure to look like his head or hand - should do well.

Not quite as startling as having a 50 pound snapper take all but the head off a 3 pound bass five feet from shore!

A Brevard County man had to go to the hospital after a 5-foot fish jumped into his boat and bit him. Gosh. And I've never even seen a fish with ONE foot...
Was this near a nuclear power plant?
