30-Pound Barracuda Jumps On Fishing Boat, Bites Man

POSTED: 11:55 am EDT July 22, 2004

TYBEE ISLAND, Ga. -- A man fishing off the Georgia coast has discovered that when the fish are biting, it can really hurt.

The boat owner says the fish wasn't hooked or anything -- it just leaped about 30 feet from the water to the boat. She says the barracuda was "sailing like he had wings."

The man was treated at a hospital for a serious cut on his finger.

Sweet!!!!!

it is even funnier in boca grande, the tarpon capitol of the world, during a tarpon tournament. Some of the winnings can reach 6 figures. Imagine a couple hundred boats, in a very small pass; literally can almost walk from boat to boat in places.

Every once in a while during one of the tournaments, someone will hook and jump a tarpon and the fish lands in someone elses boat. Ding ding, round one as the angler and the posessor fight over whose fish it is.
