Be careful out there.

Be careful out there... I've said for some time that when my time is up, I would like to die quickly of a heart attack fighting a big 'ol mud marlin (bat ray) from the end of a pier.

This guy didn't have a heart attack but he could have died from this encounter with a mud marlin.

Longtime Tustin resident Isador Greenbaum is in Hoag Hospital following an encounter with a 100-pound stingray [bat ray] hooked from the Newport Beach Pier. At 80, he’s sporting a variety of stitches, including a rebuilt nose, after he and his wheelchair became entangled with fishing gear.—Tustin News, August 27, 1982
