Huge Fish Jumps Out Of Water - Knocks Man Off Jet-Ski
<snip>

WILDWOOD, Fla. -- A Wildwood man was knocked unconscious when a huge fish jumped out of the water and slammed into him on his jet-ski.

Fish and Wildlife agents said 23-year-old Blake Fessenden was riding his watercraft along the Suwannee River when a four-foot sturgeon plowed right into him.

A passing boater rescued Fessenden and took him to a nearby boat ramp.

1. OMG - that is hilarious.
Maybe the fish didn't like the noise?

2. I thought at first it was an Aisan Carp
They've became a real pain in the ass, they're big fish that have made their way into the natural world, living mainly in rivers, when they hear the sound of motors they jump and hit hard. They've knocked out people driving boats on the missouri here.

9. I used to have a trampoline
Edited on Tue Aug-08-06 02:00 PM by underpants
I used to crank up "I am Woman" and go out in my back yard and jump on my trampoline. My neighbors that I was strange. They gave me weird looks over the fence in the backyard. Of course it probably didn't help that they didn't know I had a trampoline
