A 70\u002Dyear\u002Dold woman was stabbed by the bill of a 100\u002Dpound sailfish that leapt out of the water and attacked her.
The sailfish stabbed the woman from Arnold, Maryland in the groin area with its pointed bill on Tuesday while she was standing in the boat as two companions tried to bring it in on a fishing line about two miles offshore from Stuart, Florida, according to a report from the Martin County Sheriff’s Office.
The companions applied pressure to the wound, and the woman was taken to Stuart for medical treatment. The woman told deputies that the attack happened so fast that she didn’t have time to react, according to the sheriff’s office report. Sailfish are among the fastest fish species in the ocean and, like the swordfish, are recognizable by their extended, pointed bills.
