Katherine Perkins of Arnold, Maryland, was injured after the sailfish struck her in the groin area with its bill on Tuesday, according to police.
A 100-pound sailfish jumped out of the water off the coast of Florida and stabbed a 73-year-old woman as her fellow fishermen were attempting to reel it in.
The attack occurred as she was standing in a boat while her two companions tried to pull the fish in on a fishing line to take a picture. The woman told deputies the attack happened so fast she did not have time to react, the report from the sheriff’s office said.
