MADEIRA BEACH, Fla. (Reuters) - A Florida fisherman was recovering on Friday after being stabbed with the bill of a swordfish during a fight with another man, a sheriff's spokeswoman said.
Police arrested Frank Ashmus, 46, and Garth Spacek, 42, on Thursday after the two fishermen allegedly started fighting near a dock in Madeira Beach, a small city on Florida's Gulf Coast.
Police said that after Spacek hit Ashmus in the head with a beer bottle and left, Ashmus went to Spacek's apartment and stabbed him in the abdomen with a sharp detached bill of a swordfish.
"We don't see this kind of thing very often," said Pinellas County Sheriff spokeswoman Marianna Pasha.
Both men were drunk, according to police.
Ashmus and Spacek were held without bond on charges of aggravated battery. Spacek was in fair condition, Pasha said.

My husband once threw a frozen fish at a guy in a bar for insulting me, before he threw him over the bar and socked him in the jaw...(he made a snide reference to my being Jewish). My husband is the best!
