Tell me you don’t feel like this some nights:
Sydney - In a fishy tale with a different ending, an Australian angler on Tuesday described how a five-foot mackerel jumped into his boat, knocked him down and injured him - and then got away.
Glen Hopper said he suffered bruised ribs and cuts to his face and arms when the 1,5 metre mackerel flattened him in what he dubbed a case of “fishy’s revenge”.
“It felt like I’d just run into a brick wall, because I was going 20 knots one way and it was speeding the opposite direction,” Hopper, from Queensland state’s Sunshine Coast, told the Australian Associated Press.
“I remember it coming out the water and the next thing I knew I’m in the back of the boat winded, trying to get my breath.”
Hopper, 43, who was fishing on the Mooloolah River, estimated that the mackerel weighed about 30 kilograms. It shot into his boat, hitting him in the chin and chest, before spearing back into the water.
“It’s fishy’s revenge I suppose. It’s been a bit of a laugh with my friends,” he said. - Sapa-AFP
