(Before It's News)

Competitive fisherman Conor Cogan and several friends went fishing New Year’s Day near Port Stephens in Australia. Little did they know the excursion would feature a brush with death and an incredible story to tell.

After hooking a 200-pound marlin and a brief fight, DailyMail reports the fish wasn’t going to make things easy. Turning towards the boat, the fish breached the water at full speed with its spear-like bill aimed directly at Cogan.

“The last thing I remember is him coming straight for me in line with my head,” said Cogan. “At the last second I ducked and [the marlin] fell onto the side of the boat and onto my back and I thought, ‘Geez I’m alive.’”

According to Cogan, the fish that day were especially energetic, although he certainly didn’t expect one to leap towards him.

“I know guys that have had marlins jump into the back of the boat before, but never have they hit someone and fall back into the water without anyone being seriously injured,” said Cogan.

Not only did the marlin successfully land itself on the boat, it was able to circle around Cogan and go back into the water, creating a harrowing moment for everyone on board. It seems both the fish and fishermen had a bit of New Year’s luck.

No one was injured in the incident.
