Man spears fish, fish spears man, both dead.

What's the lesson here? Don't bring a spear to a sword fight?

I think they both got the point.

I was offshore Fort Pierce, Florida and hooked a big Sailfish that made a run and jumped aboard trying to spear me. I dodged him and he went in to the fish locker.

Seems like every few years, some fisherman gets skewered by a large billfish. This one is the first death I can recall, though. Back in 2006, something similar happened where a Marlin leaped *over* the boat, speared the fisherman through his upper chest (shoulder / collarbone area) and swept him over the far railing, into the water. That fisherman lived, I believe.

There was a thread here about it, I suspect that searching "fisherman impaled" would call it up.

New movie for 'Jaws' fans: Swordfish...

Outline for movie by Hollywood: A swordfish that is upset at conservatives who are denying global warming attacks people, including the Greenpeace ship, a PETA spokesperson who was speaking out at a beach when the fish attacks and the Obamas.

Oops, it's Hollywood, so it would be people who are kooks portrayed as conservatives.

He died with a smile on his face and a fish in his heart.
