A 31 -year -old man was seriously injured by his own dam during a sport fishing trip in Louisiana, USA. The fisherman escaped by little death, as reported by the medium .
When he was about to unwill to his prey, the 27 kilos white marlin pounced on him and gave a picotazo in his mouth, throwing him back, against the boat. The man felt acute pain in the neck, which extended to the spine, according to .
The fisherman was urgently transferred to the hospital by helicopter. During the exploration the doctors discovered that a 3.5 cm fragment of the sharp peak of the Marlin was housed in the skull. The surgeon had to make an immediate incision to extract it.
The patient received five different types of antibiotics to prevent infections caused by specific microbes and bacteria of marine environments. Finally, he was discharged from the hospital eight days later. On his last monitoring visit, the fisherman had recovered completely, without neurological sequelae.
Like the swordfish, the marlines have an aerodynamic body that allows them to reach maximum speeds of about 120 km/h, according to WWF, so they are among the fastest fish in the ocean. Their snout allows them to defend themselves, as well as hurting and killing their prey.
