Teen Attacked By Flying Barracuda!
Thursday, July 15th, 2010
A 14-YEAR-old girl shows needed 51 stitches after a 4ft-long barracuda leapt out of the ocean and clamped on to her arm.
According to the report in The Sun, Koral Wira was sitting on her family’s yacht near Venice, Florida when the fish “flew across the boat like a bullet” and fastened its teeth onto her arm.
Koral’s dad Rob had been fishing and the barracuda was attracted by the bait. He said: “The fish took my shark bait but then jumped out of the water, right at my daughter. It’s the craziest thing that’s ever happened in my life.”
After letting go of Koral’s arm, the fish fell on its side to the floor, where Rob killed it by stabbing it with a fillet knife.
I thought Barracudas only breached in South Africa!!!
When the fish returned to the water he yelled out “taste like chicken”.
