A tarpon tale -- big fish KO's surfer
Rich McKay , SENTINEL STAFF WRITER
NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- It sounds like a fish story, but it isn't.
A really big fish jumped out of the water and clobbered a surfer.
It hit him in the head and knocked him out cold.
As if it's not bad enough that snacking sharks might mistake a surfer's foot for food, surfers such as John "Casey" McDermott have to contend with flying tarpon.
The big, bony fish are swimming close to shore this month to spawn, and that makes them frisky enough that they sometimes launch themselves from the water.
Most are a couple of feet long and weigh about 50 pounds. The one in this tale was a lot bigger -- 5 feet long and maybe 100 pounds.
