Never bring a beer bottle to a Sword Fight.

Nah they have to be killed by their own stupidity not killed by someone else in an amusing way.

"We don't see this kind of thing very often,"

Of course not, swordfish stocks have been decimated by the longliners!

We don't see this kind of thing very often...

... normally, they use a flounder. This guy was some sort of fish-weapon genius!

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.

I'm not sure, but I think it might have been fun to be able to listen in on Mr. Ashmus's thoughts....

"Knife? Nah. Messy."

"Yeah! A fire poker! Wait ... I got no fireplace -- I'm in Florida."

"Frozen leg of lamb? Hmmmmm. No -- somebody done that in a detective story."

"My pet piranha? Naw -- take too long to skeletonize him with only one...."

Hey, I know....!

"Half fish," he said. "Fish that you were. I am sorry that I went too far out. I ruined us both. But we have killed many sharks, you and I, and ruined many others. How many did you ever kill, old fish? You do not have that spear on your head for nothing." --Ernest Hemingway

Sounds like the jerk with the beer bottle baited him.

Fed up with all the senseless and unnecessary violence, the Pinellas County Sherrif's department institutes the Swordfish Buy Back Program.
