A 30-pound barracuda jumped into his boat and bit him.
The Coast Guard says the 65-year-old man was aboard a charter fishing boat about three miles off Tybee Island on Wednesday when it happened.
The boat owner says the fish wasn't hooked or anything -- it just leaped about 30 feet from the water to the boat. She says the barracuda was "sailing like he had wings."
The man was treated at a hospital for a serious cut on his finger.
