I have to share this with you guys. I was out paddling this afternoon in my sea kayak. It was a little windy so I chose the eastaurine river delta about 10K's from my place. The water was nice and flat and I was just getting into a rythm when a fish leapt out of the water at high speed and smacked straight into the center of my chest!

It came at such a speed that it fizzed through the air like a fastball (or a bouncer for those cricket minded)and smecked hard into my sternum, bounced down my arm, wriggled for a bit them plopped back into the water. I shouted a Homer Simpson like hubaluegewahhh! in shocked response and sat there for ten minutes trying to recover my heart rate and my sane view of the world.

I can only conclude that nature is turning against us. When small fish will commit to such Kamikaze attacks it is obvious that we are no longer wanted on the earth. Flee! Flee into you homes and lock the doors while you have a chance!
 
Hahahahahahahah! You got "nutted" by a guppy! Course with how nasty the critters are in Oz, I prolly shouldn't laugh. Your head is liable to explode in a day or two or something. Just say no to "bobbing for blue bottles"!

Fzzzzzzzzzzz Thud! Flip, Flip, Kerplonk.

hubaluegewahhh! Whathfuggwasthat!! Wahhhhh!

Silence, heavy breathing
 
Maybe we should start a support group Rex. This is obviously one of those things that nobody talks about. Who knows what other post traumatic stress disorder kamikaze fish victims there are out there, crying for help.:D
 
What really distresses me is to come down with the heartbreak of remoras. While skin diving in the Bahamas I had a pesky remora try and attach himself to my stomach. I'm guessing it was a nearsighted one.
 
That's a perspective I never considered Jeff. Maybe the fish was trying to bond with me in is own clumsy pescatorial way. Hmmmm I must discuss this with my therapist.....

My Dad's got a t-shirt with that on it. He loves to wear it at social occasions despite the protests of the rest of the family.

Ps ...maybe I should carry a breaking stick on future paddling adventures
