“lucky it wasn’t a marlin”, you got that right! I caught a beautiful big marlin in Cabo. Our captain and deckhand were very experienced but when landing the fish, it still managed to thrust and barely missed the deckhand’s face! Knocked his hat though - too, too close! Magnificent fish, we practiced catch and release.

(Grin!) those bring back memories I never thought I’d hid! When I was a kid my Dad had an egg delivery route. I’d ride in the back of the pick-up and load up the egg cartons, and he’d drive, and we’d listen to country music...

Texas women are good, but Louisiana/Cajun women are the best!

surgeons managed to remove the jaws of the needlefish and the patient was discharged with no further complications.

So how is the needlefish doing?

A 29 year old man has been left with the 'beak' of a needlefish stuck in his face after it leapt from the sea and impaled him below the nose.

That's bound to affect his sense of smelt.

“I’m going to quit diving.”

Is this satire?

The needlefish's last words were "Hey y'all! Watch this!"

"It's jaws hit with such force that they pierced his naval cavity, went through his maxillary sinus and stopped just short of the wall of his eye socket."

Must've been a big fish to go all the way from the guy's belly button to his eye!!! ;)
