\*\*ST. AUGUSTINE, FL—\*\*A Florida fisherman is home from the hospital after being bitten by a barracuda that jumped into his boat.

Brian Warwick was fishing for baitfish off the coast of St. Augustine, Florida, when he hooked a barracuda. Unexplainably, a second barracuda then jumped into the boat and bit Warwick.

Paramedics had to pry the fish off Warwick before taking him to the hospital, where he was treated and released.
