Sydney fisherman narrowly avoids being impaled by marlin

is lucky not to have been impaled by the bill of a marlin after shock close encounter off the coast of Sydney.

Young McGlashan, just 16, had reeled the fish to the boat and was attempting to grab the leader line when the fish jumped and narrowly missed striking him with its bill.The black marlin narrowly missed Cooper McGlashan as he attempted to hold the leader line to the hook. Thankfully the marlin did not hit anyone on the boat - including the pair's dog Bingo - and was safely released.

Black marlin can grow to impressive lengths of up to five metres and can weigh over 700 kg, with anglers likely to hook fish of any size from juveniles to mature adults.

Where is the armor ?

Nah, the fish just wanted to stab the guy to avoid capture.

sick sick sick karma
