A Brevard County man had to get more than 100 stitches after a giant King Mackerel bit his leg and hand.

Josh Landis said the fish jumped into his boat as he and some friends were reeling in a smaller fish. The fish, weighing about 57 pounds and measuring about five feet, hit him in the chest before attacking him.

Landis' friend Rob Platner said, "We were staring at that little fish ...and like someone waved a magic wand that went whoosh and it was suddenly a 5 foot long 60 pound fish!"

Landis was rushed to a Brevard County Hospital where he got more than 100 stitches.

Landis said, "[It] jumped right out of the water, hit me in the chest, knocked me over and bit my leg."
