Attack of the mackerel
A US fisherman needed over 100 stitches after he was savaged by a giant mackerel which jumped into his boat.
Josh Landin was reeling in a minnow whilst out on his boat in Florida when a 1.5m-long, 26kg king mackerel leapt out of the water, biting him on the hand and leg.
Landin said: "It jumped right out of the water, hit me in the chest, knocked me over and bit my leg." Rob Platner, who was also on the boat in Brevard County, Florida, said: "We were staring at that little fish.
"Like someone waved a magic wand that went ‘whoosh’, it was suddenly a 5ft-long 60-pound fish."
