What kukhri to use against a sword...

Dayum!!!! Me either! What a freak accident. I have to agree with one of the comments made, "The fish was fresh and shouldn't have been allowed that close to the boat."
Up north where the Muskys swim there have been several reports of even an unhooked Musky jumping into a boat and biting an occupant, some quite nastily, no offense Uwinv.;)
 
Bring halibut in too fresh, and they've been known to knock holes in the boat. Some run to 300 pounds. They won't impale you though!
 
I always take a khukuri fishing- a GRS.

When boating, a khukuri is a great idea. Can cut (thick) line in an instant, or get prop entanglements free.

Yes, it will rust that day. It's a scotch-brite satin blade. It un-rusts quickly too.

That's _nothing_! I was bass fishing once, and caught a largemouth so big that it swamped the boat and almost drowned four of us! Luckily we had plenty of beer, and madly poured a couple gallons down the fishes throat, which it absorbed quickly through its gills. It finally got drunk enough that it stopped thrashing long enough for us to dispatch it with our 25" AK's that we had brought along, just in case. Thank Goodness for foresight!

We filleted it out with a 14" bandsaw we had with us, and cooked it on the spot, but there was so much fish that we couldn't eat it all. We stopped at the supermarket on the way home, and had them wrap up the rest (which explains the Safeway tags on the shrink wrapped package, in case you were wondering.)

THEN there was the time I was fishing for Bluefin tuna with 3 lb. test line, and the tuna attacked and took my buddy's leg off right at the knee! Ouch!

I have lots more fishing stories, but wouldn't want to bore you...;) Besides, some jealous folks who can't catch anything bigger than a little bluegill accuse me of making this stuff up. :mad:

At least this guy will have a good fishing story to tell. :D

i believe you, norm, i've had experience of fish that big. used to live on a lake when i was in high school, i was at the shallow end, could see the little bitty lake trout in the shallows when the sun hit just right, poor 3ft fingerlings would come up there to hide from the big fish. i had a 12 ft. rowboat that i had to cover the bottom of in fibreglass & wire mesh armour to keep the pectoral fins of the medium sized bass from poking through the bottom. lotsa lilly pads, when i first lived there you could see the ducks in spring paddling thru with their babys, then 'bloop' one less duckling. as the fish got bigger over the years, there would be a bigger bloop then one less duck. when i left they'd graduated to swans, the local kids have long stopped swimmin' there after little kenny disappeared a few years after i left. last i heard, the plans one of the neighbors had to run a seaplane off the lake had to be scrapped, the plane disappeared one night.

i believe you about safeway also, i have an uncle who used to be head butcher for safeway in the manhattan area, he was always grinding up & packaging odd bits of meat for some of our italian 'family' members. of course, that was before DNA testing......
