Massive marlin jumps in boat, nearly impales fisherman

angler nearly impaled Still image from YouTube video

Deep sea fishing can be dangerous, and we've found video to prove it.

The video comes from a fishing trip off the coast of Australia and it shows three men trying to bring a massive marlin onto the boat when out of nowhere, the fish jumps toward one of the men.

He narrowly misses being impaled by the marlin's spear-like bill by turning at the last second.

The fish nearly clears the deck and flops around for a moment before hurling itself back into the water.

None of the men were injured.

Since the video was posted to YouTube over the weekend, it's been viewed and shared hundreds of thousands of times.

Mobile device users can watch the harrowing video here.
