Marlin exacts revenge on fisherman

A marlin fisherman in Bermuda was nearly killed by his would-be prey on Saturday. After Ian Card hooked a 14 foot marlin, it jumped from the water, speared Card near his collarbone, and pulled him into the ocean. Card is recovering from surgery. No word on the marlin. From the Associated Press:

"The fish all of a sudden changed direction and jumped. The fish made a leap and Ian just happened to be in the way," (Ian's father) Alan Card said.

The younger fisherman managed to struggle free while his father cut the line and helped his son get back into their boat, the Challenger.
