A 100-pound sailfish jumped out of the water off the coast of Florida and stabbed a 73-year-old woman as her fellow fishermen were attempting to reel it in.

Katherine Perkins of Arnold, Maryland, was injured after the sailfish struck her in the groin area with its bill on Tuesday, according to a report from the Martin County Sheriff's Office, TCPalm.com reported.

The attack occurred as she was standing in a boat while her two companions tried to pull the fish in on a fishing line to take a picture.
