Saw something on Sky One before about this. A woman got stabbed through the tit and out through her back. Lucky her boobs were fake.

yea just seen it on RTE....I dont think that kid will be fishing anytime soon.

Hardly attacked given the fish was attempted to stay alive and jumped in his direction. Might teach the kid to not kill stuff for sport. I didn't see if the marlon got away tho which would have been nice.

Sharon said the marlin was cut loose and got away, kudos to it on its defensive measures. And hardly 'speared', the kid had a broken nose and that was about it.

he didnt even look like there was anything wrong with him in the close up of him. TBH, it was a time filler so the news was long enough.

Well the kid won't have a large hook in his mouth for the rest of his life so I think he's better off than the marlin.

I thought this thread had something to do with Marlon from Emmerdale

This Thread is so misleading , I thought it said "boy attacked by marian" , I was expecting somthing of a city center rampage by marian finucan

A similar thing happened in India. A fisherman caught a swordfish which launched itself at him and stabbed him through the temple, right through the eye. The end of the swordfish's bill actually stayed in the guy's head and he had to get operated to remove it...

won't somebody think of providing a link?

Perhaps this is only the vanguard of a marlan invasion...

I'd pay silly amounts of money to see that.

We did, but since there's no such word as "marlan", our brains unconsciously searched for words that do actually exist, like "martian" or "Marian", OK? Anyway, was it a marlin or a swordfish? Not the same thing, ya know
