Hawaii Island police report that a 47-year-old fisherman died Friday in Kailua-Kona during a fishing accident.
Responding to a 10:48 a.m. call, police learned that a swordfish had been observed in Honokohau Harbor and that fisherman Randy Llanes of Kailua-Kona had jumped into the water with a spear gun. The fish was then seen thrashing about, leaving a puncture wound to the mans upper chest.
Hawaii County Fire Department personnel responded to the scene and attempted CPR. They took Llanes to Kona Community Hospital, where he was pronounced dead at 11:30 a.m.
Acting Sgt. David Matsushima of the Kona patrol said that after the fish got hit with Llanes spear, the fish got wrapped around a mooring anchor, came back and swam at him.

“Today,” one fish said to another, “I think it’s a good day for humaning. Want to come along?”
“Nope, I prefer to get mine from the supermarket.”
RINOs too.
And isn't that Zeke Emanuel drifting into the picture?
Sometimes the bear gets you . . .
My husband caught a Swordfish, kind of rare in the Gulf of Mexico. We and our guests caught several Blue Marlin and quite a few Sailfish. Much fun, good memories.
Which ones tasted the best?
The Red Snapper! ;0)
My father loved to fish in the ocean. He always carried a billy club on the boat. As soon as any fish was brought on board, he conked it with the club to put it out of its misery.
I’m not expecting a fish to be smart. It’s a fish. But I do think the one who IS supposed to be smart would not equate his intelligence as measured by using fishing gear over catching a dumb fish.
The fish, instead of trying to prove his intelligence is merely trying to survive using all he has.
